Why Learn JavaJava is base around the C++ language, which is widely used and known. If you know C++, then Java should be easy.
Java borrows a lot of terminology and syntax from C++. The reason for this is that C++ is widely use and is a very powerful language. Java has also been called C++--. If C++ was a bike, then the - - are the training wheel. Java is simpler to use, more secure, and less likely to crash a system. Java does not allow programs to access directly memory like C++ does. This makes Java more stable. When you first program in Java, you must be able to think object-oriented. Those two words are what makes Java so powerful.
Java let's us create Web pages with images, text, or applets (small applications), and that can update as information changes. Java allows HTML programmers to create web pages that are interactive and fun, unlike the static pages created before the age of Java.
·Java's biggest plus is that it is a cross-platform language. This allows Java to be run on any type of system that has a JVM (Java Virtual Machine). This allows programmers to write small applications that can be run on any system, on whichever operating system you want it to.
