Java is a high-level programming language developed by Java. It's major claim to fame is that it uses what's called a run-time engine. These engines have been developed for most modern computing platforms including Mac, PC/Windows, Linux, Sparc, Cell phones and set-top boxes. This enables a single programmer to write an applet (small application), and have it work the same anywhere. Usually a program would have to be re-written or compiled for each separate platform.
Java is the technology behind many web pages, allowing for things such as computation of Body Mass Index, postage calculations and the like.
Originally designed for small applications, it is now being used for business applications, partly due to the reusability of code, the number of programmers familiar with it, and it's inherent safety and clean-up properties. (Some programs can cause memory to dwindle away when they are closed; Java doesn't do this)
The downside is that it's a bit slower than programs written in languages such as C, C++, but when you need to get a program online fast, Java can be better.

Java is a programming language for internet applications, and Sun is the company that own the rights to the application that most of us use to make these applications run. You'll see Java on your PC and more than likely on your mobile phone.
In a nutshell that is Sun Java !! Just a programming language like SQL, Cobol or C. Just that it is specifically for the internet !!

Java is an quite problem-loose programming language it really is owned by technique of creating use of image voltaic. Many information superhighway depending applications are written in java at present. JavaScript is punctiliously unrelated from image voltaic java. Java itself is senseless yet without it some subject matters on the internet might want to wish to not run like video games.

Sun Microsystems is the company that developed the Java computer language used mostly for web applications. You shouldn't be concern with it unless you want to get into computer programming.
