2. What is “Java?”
• Java is a programming language made by Sun
Microsystems in 1990.
• It was originally targeted at “smart appliances”, but as the
internet took off, it turned out to be great for it.
• It is class based, which means that pieces of code are
organized into classes. Each class usually does a
specific job.
• It is also object-oriented which means that classes that
could do specific things, are in objects that organize
them.
