What is JAVA?

Developed by Sun Microsystems USA (James Gosling). A general purpose object oriented language. Based on C & C++. Designed for easy web/internet application.

Widespread acceptance. Java is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems of USA in 1991.
                                                       
Originally called Oak by James Gosling (one of the inventor of the language). Java was invented for the development of software for consumer electronic devices like TVs, Washing- machine, microwave oven etc. The main aim had to make java simple, portable and reliable. 


Introduction:

  Java is a high-level, third generation programming language, like C, FORTRAN, Smalltalk, Perl, and many others. You can use Java to write computer applications that play  games, store data or do any of the thousands of other things computer software can do. Compared to other programming languages, Java is most similar to C. However although Java  shares much of C's syntax, it is not C. Knowing how to program in C or, better yet, C++, will  certainly help you to learn Java more quickly, but you don't need to know C to learn Java. A Java compiler won't compile C code, and most large C programs need to be changed substantially  before they can become Java programs. What's most special about Java in relation to other programming languages is that it lets you write special programs called applets that can be downloaded from the Internet and played safely within a web browser. Java language is called as an Object Oriented Programming language and before beginning for Java, we have to learn the concept of OOPs(Object-Oriented Programming).

Java Programming Byte Code: It is the unique characteristic property of the Java programming language. It is something like a normal text file. Therefore, it cannot be affected by virus. It is an intermediate between a human readable source and machine readable source. Byte codes are plate form independent. Therefore, JVM is plate form dependent to make Java programming plate form indepdent.

DBMS LEARNING SHEET

                                                            Types of DATA Structured data are facts concerning objects and events. The most important structured data are numeric, character, and dates. Structured data are stored in tabular form. Unstructured data are multimedia data such as documents, photographs, maps, images, sound, and video clips. Unstructured data are most commonly found on Web servers and Web-enabled databases. Database A database is a collection of data that is organised in such a way that it provides efficient retrieval of desired information. This collected data could be in any format like printed, audio, electronic and graphic. Consider an example of an address book, it is also a database that provides information of personal contacts of persons. DBMS A Database Mana...
