  1. Introduction to Java

What is Java?

Java is a high-level, versatile, and object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling and his team at Sun Microsystems in 1991. It is designed to be platform-independent, meaning that Java code can run on any device that has a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This unique feature makes Java a popular choice for developing applications ranging from web and mobile applications to large-scale enterprise systems.

Java is known for its simplicity, readability, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for beginners. It is used in a wide range of applications, from web development to scientific computing, and is the primary language for developing Android applications.
