What is Java?
Java is a popular programming language, created in 1995.

It is owned by Oracle, and more than 3 billion devices run Java.

It is used for:

1.Mobile applications (specially Android apps)
2.Desktop applications
3.Web applications
4.Web servers and application servers
5.Games
6.Database connection
Why Use Java?

1.Java works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc.)
2.It is one of the most popular programming languages in the world
3.It has a large demand in the current job market
4.It is easy to learn and simple to use
5.It is open-source and free
6.It is secure, fast and powerful
7.It has huge community support (tens of millions of developers)
8.Java is an object oriented language which gives a clear structure to programs and allows code to be reused, lowering development costs
9.As Java is close to C++ and C#, it makes it easy for programmers to switch to Java or vice versa

What is Java?
Java is a programming language and a platform. Java is a high level, robust, object-oriented and secure programming language.

Java was developed by Sun Microsystems (which is now the subsidiary of Oracle) in the year 1995. James Gosling is known as the father of Java. Before Java, its name was Oak. Since Oak was already a registered company, so James Gosling and his team changed the name from Oak to Java.

Platform: Any hardware or software environment in which a program runs, is known as a platform. Since Java has a runtime environment (JRE) and API, it is called a platform.
Application
According to Sun, 3 billion devices run Java. There are many devices where Java is currently used. Some of them are as follows:

1.Desktop Applications such as acrobat reader, media player, antivirus, etc.
2.Web Applications such as irctc.co.in, javatpoint.com, etc.
3.Enterprise Applications such as banking applications.
4.Mobile
5.Embedded System
6.Smart Card
7.Robotics
8.Games, etc.
Types of Java Applications
There are mainly 4 types of applications that can be created using Java programming:
1)Standalone Application
Standalone applications are also known as desktop applications or window-based applications. These are traditional software that we need to install on every machine. Examples of standalone application are Media player, antivirus, etc. AWT and Swing are used in Java for creating standalone applications.
2)Web Application
An application that runs on the server side and creates a dynamic page is called a web application. Currently, Servlet, JSP, Struts, Spring, Hibernate, JSF, etc. technologies are used for creating web applications in Java.
3)Enterprise Application
An application that is distributed in nature, such as banking applications, etc. is called an enterprise application. It has advantages like high-level security, load balancing, and clustering. In Java, EJB is used for creating enterprise applications.
4)Mobile Application
An application which is created for mobile devices is called a mobile application. Currently, Android and Java ME are used for creating mobile applications.
Java Platforms / Editions
There are 4 platforms or editions of Java:
1)Java SE (Java Standard Edition)
It is a Java programming platform. It includes Java programming APIs such as java.lang, java.io, java.net, java.util, java.sql, java.math etc. It includes core topics like OOPs, String, Regex, Exception, Inner classes, Multithreading, I/O Stream, Networking, AWT, Swing, Reflection, Collection, etc.
2)Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition)
It is an enterprise platform that is mainly used to develop web and enterprise applications. It is built on top of the Java SE platform. It includes topics like Servlet, JSP, Web Services, EJB, JPA, etc.
3)Java ME (Java Micro Edition)
It is a micro platform that is dedicated to mobile applications.
4)JavaFX
It is used to develop rich internet applications. It uses a lightweight user interface API.
