Introduction to Programming Using Java

Java has many characteristics that have contributed to its popularity:

• Platform independence – Many languages are compatible with only one platform. Java was specifically designed so that it would run on any computer, regardless if it was running Windows, Linux, Mac, Unix or any of the other operating systems.
• Simple and easy to use – Java’s creators tried to design it so code could be written efficiently and easily.
• Multi-functional – Java can produce many applications from command-line programs to applets to Swing windows (basically, sophisticated graphical user interfaces).
