Java Programming Overview

Java is a high-level, object-oriented, and platform-independent programming language developed by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle). It is widely used for building secure, scalable, and cross-platform applications—from desktop and web applications to enterprise-level systems and mobile apps (especially Android).

One of Java’s core strengths is its "Write Once, Run Anywhere" philosophy, made possible by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which allows compiled Java code to run on any device or operating system that has a JVM.
