Let's talk about JAVA





Java is an object-oriented programming language. It was released in 1996 by Sun Microsystems. Java is a very popular programming language since a long time ago. Therefore, there is a huge community behind this. Java is an open-source language. It means everyone can use it to develop any kind of application.

What can we develop using java?
  • Desktop application
  • Mobile application (Android)
  • Web application
  • Games
  • and etc

What do we need to run java on our PC (Personal Computer)? [I focus on Windows]
  • Supported platforms: both 32-bit and 64-bit
  • Minimum processer requirement: Pentium II 266MHz processer
  • Minimum RAM (Random Access memory) requirement: 128 MB
  • Disk space should be more than almost 200 MB
The above details represent minimum requirements but in 2023, we normally use Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11 with more RAM, more Disk space, and powerful processors like intel i3, i5, i7, i9 or AMD Ryzen series.


Benefits
  • JRE (Java Runtime Environment) can be run on Windows OS and Mac OS even Linux OS easily
  • learning codes is very easy
  • Finding a correct solution for the errors is very easy because of the huge community
  • once gained the knowledge, you can move to another programming language easily
