THE BIRTH OF JAVA – A BIT OF HISTORY
Created by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems in 1995.
Originally called Oak, renamed to Java (inspired by coffee).
Motto: "Write Once, Run Anywhere" – platform independence.
Initially designed for embedded systems but exploded with the rise of the internet.
CORE CONCEPTS OF JAVA (THE BASICS)
Syntax: Simple and readable, C/C++-inspired.
Data Types: int, float, boolean, char, etc.
Operators: Arithmetic, logical, relational.
Control Statements: if, switch, loops
(for, while, dowhile).
Arrays and Strings.
OOP CONCEPTS - PART 1
OOP: The Java Way - Encapsulation & Inheritance
Encapsulation is about binding data using classes and access modifiers.
This concept helps in restricting direct access to some of the object's components, which is a
fundamental principle of OOP.
Inheritance allows a child class to inherit properties and behaviours from a parent class.
This promotes code reusability and enhances code clarity.
Real-world examples illustrate OOP concepts effectively, like a Car being a parent class
for ElectricCar and SportsCar.
These examples help in understanding how OOP can model real-life scenarios.
Code Snippet:
class Animal {
void sound() { [Link]("Sound"); }
}
class Dog extends Animal {
void bark() { [Link]("Bark"); }
OOP CONCEPTS - PART 2

Advance Java Concepts
■ Interfaces & Abstract Classes.
■ Exception Handling (try-catch-finally) - keeps applications user-friendly and error-tolerant.
■ Collections Framework - List, Set, Map.
■ Multithreading - Run multiple tasks at once.
■ Code Snippet:
try {
int x = 10 / 0;
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
[Link]("Can't divide by zero");
