Java
Java is a high-level, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. The main design goals of the language were robustness, portability, high performance and security. Java is a multithreaded and distributed programming language. It can be used to create console applications, GUI applications, web applications, both on PCs or embedded systems.

Java is a programming language created by Sun Microsystems in 1991. The first publicly available version of Java was released in 1995. Today, the language is developed by Oracle corporation.
Java excels in creating portable mobile applications, programming various appliances and in creating enterprise applications.
Java popularity
There are currently several widely used programming languages. Java belongs to the most popular languages today. Several surveys put it into the top three languages in the world.
Java platforms
Java has four programming platforms:
- Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE)
- Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE)
- Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME)
- JavaFX
All Java platforms consist of a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and an application programming interface (API). The Java Virtual Machine is a program, for a particular hardware and software platform that runs Java applications. An API is a collection of software components that we can use to create other software components or applications.
所有Java平台均包含Java虚拟机(JVM)和应用程序编程接口(API)。Java虚拟机是用于运行Java应用程序的特定硬件和软件平台的程序。API是我们可以用来创建其他软件组件或应用程序的软件组件的集合
Java SE is used for developing desktop applications. Java SE’s API provides the core functionality of the Java programming language. It consists of a virtual machine, development tools, deployment technologies, and other class libraries and toolkits used in Java applications.
