Java - Introduction

Introduction to Java:

Java is a popular programming language that was first released in 1995 by Sun Microsystems. It is a general-purpose programming language that is designed to be easy to learn, write, and maintain. Java is used to create a wide range of applications, including desktop, web, and mobile applications, as well as games, scientific applications, and more. Java is an object-oriented language, which means that it is based on the concepts of objects and classes.
