Introduction to Java
• History of Java: Created by James Gosling in 1995 at Sun Microsystems. Initially called Oak.
• Key Features: Platform independent, Object-Oriented, Robust, Secure, Portable.
• JDK, JRE, JVM: JDK = Development Kit, JRE = Runtime Environment, JVM = Virtual Machine.
• Hello World Example: public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World"); } }
• Editions: Java SE, Java EE, Java ME
