Java: Discovering Its Power

Java’s platform independence (write once, run anywhere) allows the same code to run on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, mobile phones and supercomputers. Java is popular for enterprise applications that run on Web servers. This high-level language enhances productivity and reduces bugs through automatic memory management and strong typing. Using the free Java Development Kit, you learn practical fundamentals of the Java programming language, as well as basic object-oriented programming to be able to write applications with Java.
