Java is a high-level programming language developers often used in desktop applications. Simon's The Java World online video, as part of as part of the Foundations of Programming course, covers everything from Java's use of garbage collection and its suitability for mobile applications to the visual appearance of the programming language and the difference between Java and JavaScript. Learn how to get started using Java via this Lynda.com tutorial.
The next language we're going to take a look at is Java.…This is heavily influenced by C, but came along over 20 years later.…This was released in 1995 and was developed by Sun Microsystems.…It is an enormously object-oriented language.…It's all about classes and objects and it comes with an enormous library called…the Java Class Library.…Effectively meaning a whole bunch of prewritten code that you don't have to write.…There is an enormous amount of functionality already in there for you.…
It is a high-level language.…We don't really have to mess around too much with memory management.…It has a built-in garbage collector.…Java is a language that uses the hybrid compilation model.…It's neither straight compiled nor is it interpreted.…It compiles and sends to something called bytecode.…One of the reasons for that was the idea of being a very…cross-platform language.…There was a slogan that Sun used called "write once, run anywhere."…Now as it's a partially interpreted language that does mean that people do have…
