What is Java?

Dear fellows ! I'm new on net.What is JAVA ? What is it for ?

  • Answer:

    Interesting that both of the previous answers are wrong. Java has nothing to do with motion or flash player. JAVA is an open-source development language that can be used to do a multitude of things. The items which the previous two answers are referring to are called Java Applets. They do function somewhat like flash, but are written in JAVA to be exposed to the client. JAVA can also be the creator of an entire page. Any page you might navigate to on the internet that has a JSP extension is JAVA based. Basically Java is a programming language, that is platform independent.

Jeremy L is right, but since you are new to the internet, I'll make this much simpler. JAVA is a programming language (a set of codes, that is) to build interactive and dynamic web-sites. Yahoo! Answers, for instance, uses JAVA to promote simple interactions with their users. A simple example is the "Answer This Question" button. When you put your mouse over it, the color changes into blue. It's JAVA which does the job. An implementation of JAVA in web-sites is called a Java Applet. Java Applets can be anything, from that simple color-changing button to interactive educative games put on web pages.

its like a flash player. it enables you to see animation, play games..things of that nature. it also can help with downloads.

java is a programming language. If a device such as a computer, a cell phone, or a web browser can run the Java Virtual Machine, then that device is capable of running java code.
