Java, as programing language for beginnners

November 13, 2008 · Filed Under SAP · Comment 

If you promise you would not laugh on what I am going to tell you, here is a practical funny joke that took place when I was taking to one of my friend.

Well on hearing a lot about Java, said to is much in demand in the IT market, specially it’s a big demand for Java developers. I was curios, so I decided to collect some information about Java to know what actually is Java all about. I conducted a search and during the process I happened to talk to my friend.

I asked my friend ” Do you know that Java is much in demand these days”?

There was pause and was no response from the other side.

So I asked him if he knew what “Java” is?

He replied “Yes I know what Java is… it is a motorcycle.” : )

I smiled and told him it is not about that Java motor cycle on which you take a ride all the times, it is about Java language used on computers for programing, he laughed for quite a while, enjoyed his ignorance with the computer world.

Computers have became so much part of our lives that one cannot think living without it. Whatever one can think of whether it is Medical, Engineering, Business Management, Financial, Educational, Architecture, Films, it can’t do nothing without computer… In this modern digital world computer has became a must thing. So it becomes necessary for one to learn computers to as much extent as possible.

Now talking about What actually Java is? As a beginner, I am quoting here below the information I collected about Java for convenience of member here who are yet new to Java.
