Java, developed by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle
Corporation), is a high-level, object-oriented programming language renowned
for its portability, reliability, and security. It was designed to have minimal
implementation dependencies, making it an excellent choice for cross-platform
applications.
How is Java Used?
Java finds extensive applications across various domains:
•
Web Development: Utilized in backend development
using frameworks like Spring and Hibernate.
•
Mobile Applications: Android app development
relies heavily on Java.
•
Enterprise Solutions: Java Enterprise Edition
(EE) for robust and scalable enterprise applications.
