Introduction to JAVA
JAVA is a Simple, Object Oriented Programming Language .
Developed by :
James Gosling at Sun Microsystems Incorporation in
May 1995.
Initially known as Oak and later renamed to JAVA
Java was designed for the development of software for consumer electronic
devices like TVs, VCRs (Video Cassette Recorder), toasters and such other
electronic machines.

JDK Tools
The Java Development Kit (JDK) is a software development environment which is used to develop Java
applications and applets.
JDK is an implementation of any one of the below given Java Platforms released by Oracle
Corporation:
•Standard Edition Java Platform
•Enterprise Edition Java Platform
•Micro Edition Java Platform
Class File
A Java class file is a file containing Java bytecode and having .class extension that can be executed by
JVM.
The .class files describes the instructions to the Java Virtual Machine.
The .class file contains the bytecode that will translate by the JVM into platform-specific machine code.
The javac command is used to convert the Java source file into the class file.
JAVA Bytecode
Java bytecode is the instruction set for the Java
Virtual Machine.
As soon as a java program is compiled, java
bytecode is generated.
Java bytecode is the machine code in the form of
a .class file.
