SECTION A: COURSE OVERVIEW
This course will provide you with all the necessary information you need to know about the Java programming language. More specifically, you are going to learn about the features of Java programming language, its application, and how you can easily write programs using Java without tears.
What is Java?
Java is simply an all-purpose computer programing languages with which programmers write computer instructions using English based commands other than writing complex numeric code. It is regarded as an object-oriented high-level language because it can be read and written easily by humans. It has a set of rules guiding how the instructions are written. These rules are otherwise known as its syntax. One remarkable thing about Java is that it is designed to enable app developer ‘write once, run anywhere' (WORA). This means once a Java code is compiled, it can run on all platforms that support Java ( i.e any Java Virtual Machine-JVM) without the need for recompilation of the code. In addition, once a program has been written, the high-level instructions are translated into numeric codes that computers can understand and execute.
The basis of Java originated from another powerful programming language known as C++. Though C++ is a nice programming language, it is, however, stewed with sophisticated syntaxes that are too technical for most programmers. Java is just the simplified form of C++. So I recommend you learn it immediately after PHP Course.
Who Created Java?
Java was created by a team of experts led by James Gosling for a certain company known as Sun Microsystems, now owned by acquired by another company called Oracle.
Java was originally created for use on mobile devices like the telephone. This original intention took another dimension shortly after the sudden appearance of Java 1.0 in 1996. It’s now used on the internet, enabling interactivity among users by offering developers a way to produce animated web pages. Since then, they have been succeeding versions with remarkable features.
Does Java have many Versions?
Yes, sir/ma. There are many versions of Java. And each version comes with special features.
1. The first version (JDK 1.0) appeared on 23th of Jan. 1996.
2 The updated version] (JDK 1.1) was birthed on Feb. 19, 1997
3 The another updated version (J2SE 1.2) came out on 8th December 1998.
4 The next update (J2SE 1.3) entered the world on May 8, 2000.
5 The subsequent update (J2SE 1.4) appeared on the 6th of February 2002.
6 The fifth version (J2SE 5.0) was birthed on September 30, 2004.
7 The sixth version (Java SE 6) was introduced precisely on 11th December 2006.
8 The seventh version (Java SE 7) surfaced on July 28, 2011.
9 The eighth version (Java SE 8) appeared on March 18, 2014.
10 The ninth version (Java SE 9) came into the world on September 21, 2017.
11, The tenth version (Java SE 10) showed up on 20th of March, 2018.
12 The latest version (Java SE 11) was recently released on September 25, 2018.

What Is So Special About Java?
There are a thousand and one things that are too special about Java. In fact, as of 2016 Java was regarded as the most popular programming language in the world mainly for client-server web applications, with a whopping number of 9 million developers according to Wikipedia. Furthermore, there are other special advantages of Java over other high-level languages. Some of them include:
1. Java is simple and easy to learn and work with:
In my whole coding life, I’ve never come across any programming language as easy as Java. Java is a bae in the programming world. Java brings joy!
2. Java is highly efficient and secure to use:
Security and efficiency are what every wise programmer usually have at the back of their mind while adopting a high-level language. Good news, Java is the most secure and efficient programming language currently. In fact, Java was originally designed for mobile devices that would be exchanging data over networks, and because of this, it was built to contain a very high level of security.
3. It is also portable to use
Portability is another thing that makes programmers chase Java like a beautiful lady. Java is the most portable programming language I’ve ever romanced with. It never cares about your operating system, hardware or any device that’s running on. It works perfectly well on any platform.
4. Java is highly trustworthy
Java is trusted by millions of programmers across the globe probably because it’s extremely reliable. Whenever a programmer makes a mistake(s) while is working with Java, the probability of fatal errors is usually narrow, if not absent.
5. It is very fast and time-saving
Finally, I call Java the Usain Bolts of the programming world. In addition to its reliability and interdependence, it makes work faster for programmers. I recommend it, especially for commercial use.
