3. What is JAVA?
⢠Developed by Sun Microsystems (James
Gosling)
⢠A general-purpose Object-Oriented language
⢠Based on C/C++
⢠Designed for easy Web/Internet applications
⢠Widespread acceptance
4. What is Object Oriented Programming?
Object-oriented programming is a method of
implementation in which programs are organized as
cooperative collections of objects, each of which
represents an instance of some class, and whose classes
are all members of one or more hierarchy of classes
united via inheritance relationships.
5. Principles of OOP
⢠All object-oriented programming languages
provide mechanisms that help you implement the
object-oriented model.
⢠They are:
⢠Encapsulation
⢠Inheritance
⢠Polymorphism
6. Data Encapsulation
Encapsulation is the mechanism that binds together code
and the data it manipulates, and keeps both safe from
outside interference and misuse.
class Account {
int x=10;
float withdraw();
void deposit(float amount);
float balance;
}
8. Inheritance
⢠Inheritance is the process by which one object acquires the
properties of another object.
⢠A class that is derived from another class is called a subclass
(also a derived class, extended class, or child class).
⢠The class from which the subclass is derived is called a super
class (also a base class or a parent class).
⢠A class which is a subtype of a more general class is said to
be inherited from it.
9. Inheritance contâd
⢠The sub-class inherits the base classâ data members and
member functions.
⢠A sub-class has all data members of its base-class plus its
own.
⢠A sub-class has all member functions of its base class (with
changes) plus its own.
10. Polymorphism
⢠Polymorphism refers to a programming language's ability
to process objects differently depending on their data type or
class.
⢠Generally, the ability to appear in many forms.
⢠More specifically, it is the ability to redefine methods for
derived classes.
⢠For example, given a base class shape, polymorphism
enables the programmer to define different area methods for
any number of derived classes, such as circles, rectangles and
triangles. No matter what shape an object is, applying the
area method to it will return the correct results.
11. Why Java?
Java is the Internet programming language.
Java enables users to develop and deploy applications
on the Internet for servers, desktop computers, and
small hand-held devices.
12. Java, Web, and Beyond
⢠Java Applets
⢠Java Web Applications
⢠Java can also be used to develop applications for
hand-held devices such as Palm and cell phones

Java is inherently object-oriented.
Although many object-oriented
languages began strictly as procedural
languages, Java was designed from
the start to be object-oriented. Object-
oriented programming (OOP) is a
popular programming approach that is
replacing traditional procedural
programming techniques.
One of the central issues in software
development is how to reuse code.
Object-oriented programming provides
great flexibility, modularity, clarity, and
reusability through encapsulation,
inheritance, and polymorphism.

Distributed computing involves several
computers working together on a
network. Java is designed to make
distributed computing easy. Since
networking capability is inherently
integrated into Java, writing network
programs is like sending and receiving
data to and from a file.

You need an interpreter to run Java
programs. The programs are compiled
into the Java Virtual Machine code
called bytecode. The bytecode is
machine-independent and can run on
any machine that has a Java
interpreter, which is part of the Java
Virtual Machine (JVM).

Java was designed to adapt to an evolving
environment. New code can be loaded on the
fly without recompilation. There is no need for
developers to create, and for users to install,
major new software versions. New features can
be incorporated transparently as needed.
25. Java Disadvantages
⢠Slower than compiled language such as C
⢠an experiment in 1999 showed that Java was 3 or 4
times slower than C or C++
26. Origin of Java
⢠Generation
⢠James Gosling & Patrick Naughton at 1990
⢠Goal : to develop distributed system which is
applicable to electronic products(platform
independent)
27. James Gosling
⢠James Gosling is generally
credited as the inventor of the Java
programming language
⢠He was the first designer of Java
and implemented its original
compiler and virtual machine
⢠He is also known as the Father
of Java.
28. Brief History of Java
⢠In 1990, Sun Microsystems began an internal project known as
the Green Project to work on a new technology.
⢠In 1992, the Green Project was spun off and its interest directed
toward building highly interactive devices for the cable TV industry.
This failed to materialize.
⢠In 1994, the focus of the original team was re-targeted, this time
to the use of Internet technology. A small web browser called
HotJava was written.
⢠Oak was renamed to Java after learning that Oak had already
been trademarked.
29. ⢠In 1995, Java was first publicly released.
⢠In 1996, Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.0 was released.
⢠In 2002, JDK 1.4 (codename Merlin) was released, the most
widely used version.
⢠In 2004, JDK 5.0 (codename Tiger) was released.
â˘The latest version of java is jdk 8.0.
31. Java Platform Editions
⢠A Java Platform is the set of APIs, class libraries, and
other programs used in developing Java programs for
specific applications.
32. There are 3 Java Platform Editions
1. Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE)
⢠Core Java Platform targeting applications running on
workstations
2. Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
⢠Component-based approach to developing distributed,
multi-tier enterprise applications
3. Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME)
⢠Targeted at small, stand-alone or connectable
consumer and embedded devices
33. Java Development Kit (JDK)
Java Development Kit (JDK)
⢠Is a set of Java tools for developing Java programs
⢠Consists of Java API, Java Compiler, and JVM

35. Java life cycle
â˘Java programs normally undergo four phases
⢠Edit
â˘Programmer writes program (and stores program on
disk)
⢠Compile
â˘Compiler creates byte-codes from program (.class)
⢠Load
â˘Class loader stores byte-codes in memory
⢠Execute
â˘Interpreter: translates byte-codes into machine language
36. Java life cycle
⢠Source code (.java)
⢠Compiled into Byte codes (.class) , as (.exe) in c++
â The Java Application Programming Interface
(API)
⢠a large collection of ready-made software components.
It is grouped into libraries of related classes and
interfaces; these libraries are known as packages.
â Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
â Machine code
38. JVM an Portability
⢠Through the Java VM, the same application is capable of
running on multiple platforms.
39. A Simple Java Program
//This program prints Welcome to Java!
public class Welcome
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Welcome to Java!");
}
}
40. Compiling Java Source Code
Java was designed to run object programs on any platform.
With Java, you write the program once, and compile the source
program into a special type of object code, known as bytecode.
The byte-code can then run on any computer with a Java Virtual
Machine, as shown below.
Java Virtual Machine is a software
that interprets Java byte-code.

In 1990, Sun Microsystems began an internal project known as the Green Project to work on a new technology. Its team originally considered C++ as the language to use but soon abandoned it for an entirely new language called Oak.
In 1992, the Green Project was spun off and its interest directed toward building highly interactive devices for the cable TV industry. This failed to materialize.
In 1994, the focus of the original team was re-targeted, this time to the use of Internet technology. A small web browser called HotJava was written. Oak was renamed to Java after learning that Oak had already been trademarked.
In 1995, Java was first publicly released
In 1996, Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.0 was released
In 2002, JDK 1.4 (codename Merlin) was released, the most widely used version
In 2004, JDK 5.0 (codename Tiger) was released, the latest version
The name Java was coined at a local coffee shop frequented by some of the members.
It is not clear whether the name is an acronym or not.
However some accounts claim that it stands for the names of James Gosling, Arthur Van Hoff, and Andy Bechtolsheim.
Others, that it is an acronym for Just Another Vague Acronym.
Recognizing that one size doesnât fit all, Sun has grouped its technologies into three editions.
Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE)The J2SE platform is a fast and secure foundation for building and deploying client-side enterprise applications. In today's .com world of nanosecond response times and information gratification, J2SE technology provides the speedy performance and high functionality that is demanded by Web users.
For end users, J2SE technology enables faster and easier use of functionally rich Web applications, such as corporate intranets and interactive shopping aids for e-commerce. For enterprise developers, the improved J2SE technology serves as the base tool for creating sophisticated, valuable applications that can be brought to market quickly.
Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE)J2EE technology simplifies enterprise applications by basing them on standardized, modular and re-usable components called Enterprise JavaBeans⢠(EJBâ˘), providing a complete set of services to those components, and handling many details of application behavior automatically. By automating many of the time-consuming and difficult tasks of application development, J2EE technology allows enterprise developers to focus on adding value, that is, enhancing business logic, rather than building infrastructure.
Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME)J2ME technology specifically addresses the vast consumer space, which covers the range of extremely tiny commodities such as smart cards or a pager all the way up to the set-top box, an appliance almost as powerful as a computer. J2ME technology enables device manufacturers, service providers, and content creators to gain a competitive advantage and capitalize on new revenue streams by rapidly and cost-effectively developing and deploying compelling new applications and services to their customers worldwide.
Each edition is a developer treasure chest of tools and supplies that can be used with a particular product.
Note that there are packages developed and supported by Sun that are not part of any edition such as (java3d for 3d graphics).
The Java platform is formed from two components: the Java Application Programming Interface (Java API) and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The Java API is a set of libraries that you can use to accomplish tasks like creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs), performing file input/output (I/O), or establishing network communication. The JVM is in charge of executing your code in a specific environment.
A Java Development Kit (JDK) is a program development environment for writing Java applications. It consists of a runtime environment that "sits on top" of the operating system layer as well as the tools and programming that developers need to compile, debug, and run applications written in the Java language.
The Java Runtime Environment (JRE), also known as Java Runtime, is part of the Java Development Kit (JDK), a set of programming tools for developing Java applications. The Java Runtime Environment provides the minimum requirements for executing a Java application; it consists of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), core classes, and supporting files.
