Let us assume java to be a tree. The tree is divided into three parts basically with your basic computer skills, you can get started with java.

Coming to the Enterprise Java developers who work for big companies, 90% of Fortune companies use Java which is quite the biggest record so far exceeding the likes of JavaScript and Python. What these companies hire you to build are E-commerce applications, Banking software and Backend Services.

However, on this blog, we will cover basically two things which are programming in Java and Basic Java Tools.
Java is an independent language and does not require the use of another computer program to run. Let us take, for example, you are a Nigerian and you traveled down to PARIS where you’ll have to speak French and not your native language. To talk with people you’ll need to use your phone by translating your native language to French before sending a message across. Your phone here acts as a Compiler and I am going to cover more on that in my next article. Your phone which serves as a compiler is basically there to interpret messages and translate it into what you can understand just like how the computer translate binary into readable instructions.

What do you need to learn java programming?

You need the JVM, JRE and the JDK! What are these JJJ? The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which will compile your code so your IDE can interpret. The JVM is the part of your Java Run-time Environment (JRE) which is needed to show your code to people probably, your kids, work-partner or friends. Also, to make and run java programs, you will need to download the Java Development Kit (JDK) which will allow your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) be able to work. Example of IDE is Netbeans, Eclipse, and Bluej which are basically the most popular java IDE with Netbeans being the most suitable for Beginners.
