There are many programming languages, each with different importance. Each have the power of there own. Now I will discuss one of the languages that I have studied a little which is Java. Java is a high level language. It is a very powerful language. Sun was developed by Sun Microsystems. When it was being launched it had been tested by many people who were experts in C++ and approved Java of being a programming language. The logo is a coffee cup. A little note to the c++ programmers, many of the functions of java derive from c++, but it’s more cohesive and more consistent than c++. It gives programmer full control, and reflects exactly who you program. A few of the reasons why use java

• Simple
• Secure
• Portable
• Object oriented
• Robust
• Multithreaded
• Architecture neutral
• Interpreted
• High performance
• Distributed
• Dynamic
• Very powerful

Where is java used? Lets see Web servers, Internet applications/ applets, Servlets, Relational databases, Mobile technology and personal digital assistants, Mainframe computers, Operating system that is Solaris, Orbiting telescopes, Credit card sized smart cards, Telephones, Architectural and 3d design, Etc… And these are becoming even more and more every day due to extensive research being done in Sun Microsystems. One important thing that people really don’t know is java is not at all becoming obsolete. This is rather a strange statement I heard from people but I strongly disagree with it. One more important note Java script is not a part of java, Java script has been designed and developed by some one else. The method of coding in both is different. And Java is a programming language where as Java script is not a programming language. But both can be used for internet. How? Well java allows user to make applications that can work on the internet one example of such applications is applets. Java script is like an add on for web pages.

So in a nutshell, Java is a highly professional programming language. Not made for a beginner. Gain some knowledge about programming and computers before starting java. As there exist a lot more than it looks. The home page for Java is www.java.com and www.sun.com. There are a lot of resources there to go through for beginning your step into the vast field of java.
