Java

 

Definition: Java is an object-oriented programming language that is platform independent (the same Java program runs on all hardware platforms without modification).

What This Means: Java embodies the “write once-run anywhere” model, which has been one of the Holy Grails of computing for decades. Developed by Sun, Java is widely used on the Web for both client and server processing. Modeled after C++, Java tightened up much of the syntax and added features to reduce and isolate programmer errors. It was also designed to run on small amounts of memory.
