The No Decaf Juice on Java

What is Java?

Java can be looked at from a few different perspectives. Microsoft, for example, views Java as merely a new programming language and is building Java into its platforms.

Java can also be viewed as a platform. When a program is written in Java, it can run on any platform—cutting ties between the program and any specific platform. This approach—elevating Java beyond the scope of a mere programming language—is quite radical and revolutionary.
