Java

Java, created by James Gosling and his team at Sun Microsystems in the mid-1990s, is a versatile, object-oriented programming language. It's celebrated for its "Write Once, Run Anywhere" philosophy, meaning code can run on any platform with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Java is widely used in enterprise-level software development, web applications, and Android app development due to its platform independence, robustness, and scalability. It has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks like Spring and Hibernate, making it developer-friendly. Java's strong community support and continuous updates ensure its relevance in modern software engineering, particularly in the corporate world.
