Overview of Java

Java has emerged as the object-oriented programming language of choice. Some of the important concepts of Java include:

  • Java virtual machine (JVM), which provides the fundamental basis for platform independence
  • Automated storage management techniques, such as garbage collection
  • Language syntax that is similar to that of the C language

The result is a language that is object-oriented and efficient for application programming.
