Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language that is widely used for developing a wide range of applications, including desktop, mobile, web, and enterprise software. It was first released in 1995 by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle Corporation) and has since become one of the most popular programming languages in the world.

One of the key features of Java is its “write once, run anywhere” principle, which means that once a Java program is written, it can run on any platform that supports the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), including Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices.

Java also offers many other benefits, including its ability to provide robust security features, its support for multithreading, and its vast collection of libraries and frameworks that can simplify development and accelerate time-to-market.

In this course, you will learn the basics of Java programming, including data types, control structures, methods, classes, objects, and more. By the end of the course, you will have a solid foundation in Java programming and be able to write your own basic Java programs.
