Java An object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. It is similar to C++, Java is smaller, more portable, and easier to use than C++ because it is more robust and it manages memory on its own. Java is platform-neutral so it can be run on any platform, because Java programs are compiled into a byte code that does not rely on platform-specific instructions. Java is a useful language for programming Web applications, since users access the Web from many types of computers. Java is also used in programming small applications, or applets, for the World Wide Web, as well as in creating distributed network applications.
