Java is a full object-oriented language, strongly typed, with an extensive feature set focused on networking and cross-platform compatibility.

Applications written in Java can run on virtually any OS – though the performance won’t be as good as something designed to run natively.

It is the language of choice for most Computer Science courses, and consequently almost everyone has at least a little Java programming experience. Android applications are written in Java too, though you can’t simply run a regular Java app on your Android mobile nor vice-versa.

Good Luck.
