Java is a multi-platform, object-oriented, and network-centric language that can be used as a platform in itself. It is a fast, secure, reliable programming language for coding everything from mobile apps and enterprise software to big data applications and server-side technologies.
The History of Programming
When natural programming languages were first developed, they fell into two broad categories, depending on how they communicated with the underlying hardware.
Compilers: The complete program is written in natural English-like syntax with compilers, and the language then compiles (or translates) the entire code into machine code. The compiled code is then run on the hardware.
Interpreters: With interpreters, every high-level code statement is interpreted into machine code on the fly. Written statements are run immediately by the hardware before looking at the next statement.
