Java is an object oriented
programming language with a built-in application programming interface (API)
that can handle graphics and user interfaces and that can be used to create
applications or applets. Because of its rich set of API‟s, similar to Macintosh
and Windows, and its platform independence, Java can also be thought of as a
platform in itself. Java also has standard libraries for doing mathematics.
The Java API is a large collection
of ready-made software components that provide many useful capabilities, such
as graphical user interface (GUI) widgets. The Java API is grouped into
libraries of related classes and interfaces; these libraries are known as
packages. The Java programming language is not just for writing cute, entertaining
applets for the Web. The general-purpose, high-level Java programming language
is also a powerful software platform. Using the generous API, you can write
many types of programs.
