Java Fundamentals – Part 1

Learning Roadmap
Programming → Java → History → Founder → Features → Platform → JDK/JRE/JVM →
Compilation → Data Types

What is Programming?
Programming is the process of writing instructions that tell a computer what to do. Java
source code is compiled into bytecode and executed by the JVM.

What is Java?
Java is a high-level, object-oriented, class-based programming language created at Sun
Microsystems. Its famous principle is Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA).

History
1991: Green Project started
James Gosling created Oak
1995: Renamed to Java and released
2010: Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems.

double 8 bytes double d=10.5;
char 2 bytes char c='A';
boolean true/false boolean ok=true;
