Description:

Java is a general-purpose programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995.
The two main components of the Java platform are the Java Application Programming Interface, which is a library of Java command lines, and the Java Virtual Machine that interprets Java code into machine language.

Java can be used by developers to:
- Write software on one platform and run it on any other platform.
- Create programs that can run within a web browser and access available web services.
- Develop server-side applications for online forums, stores, polls, and more.
- Combine applications or services using the Java language to create customized applications or services.
- Write applications for mobile phones, remote processors, wireless modules, sensors, and practically any other electronic device.
