8 Introduction to Java
Lets Start the Course
 Evolution of Java
Earlier Programming : Fortran, BASIC, Pascal,
Cobol
The Birth of Modern Programming: C
Object Oriented Programming : C++
JAVA
C#

10 Introduction to Java
 Strengths Of JAVA
Simple
Compared to C++:
no header files, macros, pointers and references, unions,
operator overloading, templates, etc.
Pure Object Oriented - Classes + Inheritance
Platform Independent - Windows, Linux, Solaris
Secure - Type-safety + access control
Distributed - RMI, Servlet, Distributed Object Programming
Multi Threaded
No Memory Constraints
(Garbage collection)
11 Introduction to Java
 JDK Editions
Java Standard Edition (J2SE)
J2SE can be used to develop client-side standalone
applications or applets.
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/download.jsp
Java Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
J2EE can be used to develop server-side applications
such as Java servlets and Java ServerPages.

Java Micro Edition (J2ME).

J2ME can be used to develop applications for mobile
devices such as cell phones.

12
 Java IDE Tools
NetBeans IDE http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/index.php
JCreator
Borland Jbuilder
KAWA
Eclipse

13
 Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

14 Introduction to Java
 Compiling and Executing a Java
Program

15 Appendix A: Introduction to Java

 My First JAVA Program
public class HelloSeecs
{
// starts a class

public static void main (String[] args) {

System.out.println(“Hello SEECS”);
}
}

public = can be seen from any package

static = not “part of” an object

16 Appendix A: Introduction to Java

 Processing and Running HelloSeecs
javac HelloSeecs.java
Produces HelloSeecs.class (byte code)
java HelloSeecs
Starts the JVM and runs the main method
