About Java
Java is a computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" meaning that code that runs on one platform does not need to be recompiled to run on another. Slide4
Java (software platform)
Java is a set of several computer software products and specifications from Sun Microsystems (Now known as Oracle Corporation), that together provide a system for developing application software and deploying it in a cross-platform computing
environment, known as an SDK (Software Development Kit).Slide5
