In this course we will use the Java programming language.
Java is a modern, high level, object oriented programming
language, which supports also the imperative and the functional
programming paradigms.
General characteristics of Java:
- simple
- platform independent (the same program can be run on Windows, Unix,
MacOS, etc.)
- comes equipped with a very rich set of well developed libraries
- designed for the use on Internet
- based on virtual machine (see later)
- safe (the virtual machine forbids undesired accesses to applications
running via the Internet)
