Introduction

Java Course

Java is a popular programming language for several main reasons:

• It workes on many different platforms.
• It's easy to learn and open source.
• It's fast and powerful.

Java is considered an Object Oriented programming language, making it easy to encapsulate data (and methods) in a class. A class is like a blue-print that contains all the properties that will be inherited by the objects created by it. This makes it easy to organize and re-use blocks of code.

Java is also a compiled language, meaning that it needs to be translated into machine readable code before it can run.
