Introduction to Java

Java is an object oriented programming language with a built-in application programming

interface (API) that can handle graphics and user interfaces and that can be used to create

applications or applets. Because of its rich set of API‟s, similar to Macintosh and Windows,

and its platform independence, Java can also be thought of as a platform in itself. Java also has

standard libraries for doing mathematics.

The Java API is a large collection of ready-made software components that provide many

useful capabilities, such as graphical user interface (GUI) widgets. The Java API is grouped

into libraries of related classes and interfaces; these libraries are known as packages. The Java

programming language is not just for writing cute, entertaining applets for the Web. The

general-purpose, high-level Java programming language is also a powerful software platform.

Using the generous API, you can write many types of programs.
