Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It was created by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle) and was released in 1995. Java is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world, used for building mobile apps, web apps, enterprise software, and even large-scale scientific applications.
Java’s slogan is:
“Write Once, Run Anywhere.”
This means Java programs can run on any device or operating system that has the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
