*used to make all kinds of apps and programs, especially those for the internet. * made in 1991, james gosling and a team at sun microsystems. **developed the language at first for appliances: washing machines and tv sets. *** home appliances: different operating systems, different programming chips (processors) ** java today: used for a lot of different operating systems: windows, mac, linux. ****operating systems: the underlying software that has computers run (windows to start up computer, Apple computer uses mac, some computers/servers use linux) *** one that help work on different operating systems. Java code --> intermediate language --> machine code. * editor (program to create your java program)--> . java --> compiler (turns your program into intermediate language)--> . class --> java virtual machine (jvm: executes your program as machine code to run on your system) *all machines can interpret code: 0s and 1s (binary code) **c/c++ code: 1 - on, 0 - off; but it can be vice-versa.
