Introduction to Java

• Object-Oriented Programming Language

• Platform Independence
MyProgram.java
• A platform is the hardware or software
API
environment in which a program runs. Java
Platform
Java Virtual Machine
• Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris OS, and Mac OS
Hardware-Based Platform
• The Java platform has two components:
• Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

• Java Application Programming Interface (API)

History of Java

• Java was initially developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems.

• Firstly, it was called "Greentalk" ,the file extension was .gt.

• After that, it was called Oak.

• Sun released Oak as Java in 1995 after reworking it for the Web.

• The first stable version, JDK 1.0.2 was released on January, 1996.

• The latest release for the Java SE Platform is Java SE 15 in September 2020.

Editions of Java

• J2SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)


• mainly used to create Desktop applications.

• J2EE (Java Platform, Enterprise Edition)


• Distributed Enterprise applications

• create a special type of Server-side application known as a servlet


• Servlets can access enterprise databases and make that data available via the web.

• J2ME (Java Platform, Micro Edition)


• Embedded code for phones, set top boxes and other consumer devices

Faculty of Computer Science


Java Features

• Simple, Object-oriented and familiar

• Distributed

• Robust and Secure

• Architecture-neutral and Portable

• High Performance

• Multithreaded

• Dynamic

Faculty of Computer Science


Two kinds of Java Environment Programs

Scientific Application
 Applications
Enterprise Applications Desktop GUI Application
• Unrestricted access to system
resources Web Applications Using Java Embedded System Application
• Interface can be graphical,
Standalone Applications Mobile Applications
textual or neither
Web Servers & Application Servers

 Applets
• Restricted access to system resources
• Interface is embedded in some
graphical wrapper
• Browser
• Applet viewer

Benefits of Java

• Get started quickly


• a powerful object-oriented language, it's easy to learn, especially for programmers already
familiar with C or C++

• Write less code


• a program written in the Java programming language can be four times smaller than the same
program written in C++

• Write better code


• encourages good coding practices, and automatic garbage collection helps you avoid memory leaks

• Develop programs more quickly


• Simpler than C++, and development time could be up to twice as fast when writing in it.

Faculty of Computer Science


Benefits of Java (cont’d)

• Avoid platform dependencies


• program is portable by avoiding the use of libraries written in other languages.

• Write once, run anywhere


• applications written in the Java programming language are compiled into machine
independent bytecodes, they run consistently on any Java platform

• Distribute software more easily


• With the java web start software, Java is easy to distribute.

Difference Between C++ and Java

Parameter C++ Java


Platform C++ is platform dependent. Java is platform independent
Features C++ is not pure object-oriented features Java is an object- oriented features. It
supports automatic garbage collection.

Pointer C++ support pointers. Java offers only limited support for
pointers.

Performance C++ is faster than Java. Java is slower than C++.


Compiler and C++ only support compiler. Java supports both compiler and
Interpreter interpreter.
Concept Write once compile anywhere Write once run anywhere everywhere.

Program Design

• Performance

• Maintainability

• Extensibility

• Availability

Faculty of Computer Science


Software Engineering

• The application of a systematic and disciplined approach to the development,


testing, and maintenance of a program.

• Software life cycle


• The sequence of stages from conception to operation of a program.

• Five stages are


• Analysis
• Design
• Coding
• Testing
• Operation and Maintenance

Faculty of Computer Science


Summary

• Java is object oriented programming language and platform independent.

• JVM and API are the main components of Java.

• The sequence of software development stages from conception to operation is called


the software life cycle.

• Five major phases of the software life cycle are analysis, design, coding, testing, and
operation.

• Software engineering is the application of a systematic and disciplined approach to the


development, testing, and maintenance of a program.
