| | Java is a popular programming language written by Sun Microsystems. It's an object-oriented language that runs inside a "virtual machine" which, at least in theory, allows code to run on many different machines. Sun calls this "Write once, run anywhere", and in practice it actually works reasonably well, although it took years for this to happen.
Java is extremely popular in commercial software development - it's dominant in the area that I work in: operations support software for communications companies. It's not that popular in the Free Software community because it's a proprietary product owned and controlled by Sun. There is a lot of "open source" development in Java, though. |
