Java Tutorial
[attachment=16089]
Java - General
Java is:
-platform independent programming language
-similar to C++ in syntax
-similar to Smalltalk in mental paradigm
Pros: also ubiquitous to net
Cons: interpreted, and still under development (moving target)
How it works
Java is independent only for one reason:
-Only depends on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM),
-code is compiled to bytecode, which is interpreted by the resident JVM,
-JIT (just in time) compilers attempt to increase speed.
Java - Security
-Pointer denial - reduces chances of virulent programs corrupting host,
-Applets even more restricted -
