JAVA is a web-based protocol that enables your computer to access and interact with non-traditional formats your computer could not recognize on its own. It enables all computers to talk to other computers and accomplish complex tasks over the internet.



For instance, Java enables you to create UPS and USPS postage labels in the Pitney Bownes format - which is not something your computer could do on its own. Java feeds your address and payment information through cyberspace and returns a finished label for you to print and put on your package.

Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.

Java is a program language which allows you to write programs that will work on any computer: Windows, MAC, Linux, Unix, etc. It is often used on web sites because the author of the site as no way of know what type of computer will be accessing the site.



Most languages require you to compile programs into a machine code that only works on one type of computer. So a program compiled for Windows, will not run a MAC (or vice versa).



Java allows you to load a small program on your computer which can read any Java based program and then adjust it to work on your computer. For example, there is a MAC version Java which will make any Java program work on a MAC. While the Windows version of Java will let the same Java program run on Windows. This is great for the web since they can write one program that works on all makes and models of computers.

Java is a free software which is installed on computers to help the pictures and site apps run more smoothly. You should go to www.java.com and look for a link that says "Do I have Java?" It is safe.

It is a programming language used for everything now. Web pages, games, applications etc. Its the environment in which the program runs where it can execute shortcuts to certain commands. I got this from google wikipedia...

Java Script is a part of HTML. HTML puts together what is on webpages. Everything you see (Font, text size, moving text) is made up from HTML.
