If your question was to learn the architecture of Java, how Java compiler converts code to bytecode and executes it, you need to read JVM Specification.\n\nIf your question was how to architect/Design applications in Java/J2EE, you need to cover a vast number of topics including but not limited to Design Patterns, UML, EJB, J2EE, JMS, Security and et all.

POJO, or Plain Old Java Object, is a normal Java object class (that is, not a JavaBean, EntityBean etc.)  and does not serve any other special role nor does it implement any special interfaces of any of the Java frameworks. This term was coined by Martin Fowler, Rebbecca Parsons and Josh MacKenzie who believed that by creating the acronym POJO, such objects would have a "fancy name", thereby convincing people that they were worthy of use.

1. Java is highly secure:- Java applets cannot access memory space other than the one which is assigned to it on the host system. So, there is a reduced chance of applets running on your system and creating problems.\n\n2. Java is distributed:- Features like RMI (remote method invocation) allow a Java program to invoke a method of an object residing on a remote system (or a different JVM). This is needed in a distributed environment. JavaBeans and CORBA are also essential in a networked environment.\n\n3. Java is robust:- Java programs are quite sturdy (although compiling takes slightly more time time vis-a-vis C). The compiler converts the .java source codes into .class files which can be run on any OS with the appropriate interpreter. (This means compiling .java files into .class files in Linux and running them on Windows is possible.)

It is a high level language, pretty much like the others.  The significant thing about Java is that the same source code can run under many different operating systems, thanks to the Java Virtual Machine.\n\nJava is an object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. The language, which was designed to be platform independent, is a derivative of C++ with a simpler syntax, a more robust runtime environment and simplified memory management.

Java is a secure and platform independent language. Which makes it suitable to be used in internet application.\nThis is why Java is said to have made web live.

Java is a full-featured programming language for applications and applets, that is compiled and interpreted, whereas Javascript is a scripting language for web-pages only that isn't compiled and interpreted.\n\nJava is a SUN's(Stanford University Networks) product, whereas Javascript is Netscape's product.\n\nJAVA was originally named OAK whereas JAVASCRIPT was originally named LIVESCRIPT.

Javascript (no relation to Java) is a text base language used with HTML. It is used for client side manipulation. For instance, if you set up a form where the user has to fill in a name, you can create a javascript that checks to make sure they do and won't let them submit the page until they do.

Java is a programming language environment.  It is not required to be on your computer unless a specific site is using a java object on that page.  If you need it, I recommend going to the java site itself and downloading a copy.  I would not follow links off of unrelated sites because there has been at least one case of some one using a java request to trick ppl into downloading mal-ware.

.NET is a framework that Microsoft has developed for bringing out a revolution in the way people program.\nIt is very Programmer friendly with its IDE.\nHowever the biggest prob is it does not work on Linux..\nJava however (developed by Sun Microsystems) is platform independent in true sense!Java's this feature as well because of its robustness has made it the most popular programing language.\nto know more check out \nhttp://www.microsoft.com\nhttp://www.sun.com

Unable to do JAVA means what? If u have JDK in your PC then u can certainly execute JAVA programs.If u don't wanna use vj# then write your code in notepad or use an editor called EditPlus.

Basically, JDK allows you to compile .java files to .class files. JDK are meant for developers who want to produce java programs. JRE only allows you to run *.class files.

Java programming has couple of pluses....\n+ it is Object oriented\n+ it is platform independent \n+ it is part of open source community development\n+ it is write once , run anywhere kind of programming\n\nyou will write a source *.java file compile with the JDK, \nthat will produce a bytecoded classfile\nthese byte coded class file run on different machines JVM without any modifications to suit environment.\n\n\n\njavac *.java  and run using \njava  file(class)\n\n\n\nFor a start you need couple of things..\nGet a Headfirst series Java book \nget the JDK  (java development kit) here\nhttp://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download-netbeans-50.html

LoL, I love those brilliant answers you've recieved thus far. JAVA is one of the primary programming languages on the internet. You'll find a good amount of Java "applets" that are programs embedded into a webpage. Some of the more common ones are chatrooms and MUDS (text games online). JavaScript is even more prevelant, and is a scripting language very similar to Java, in the same family you might say. JavaScript is VERY common, and is used to create lots of objects on a web page, such as forms or "special effects".\n\n\n_______\nAnd now a little rant, to the genious that said Java is an "easy" programming language... I wouldn't say that. Learning an object-orientated programming language is no small feat. Changing your process of designing and thinking to fit the OO style can be a bit of a challenge. Granted once learned it's a very powerful and "easier" language to program in compared to C, it's definitely not "easy" for someone who hasn't programmed in Object-Orientated style before.
