Java is one of the world's most used programming language. It was developed by 'Sun Microsystems' in the year 1995. Java is the most widely used programming language for network computers. The highlights of the programming language is that it is an extremely simple, secure, multi threaded and object-oriented programming language. One of its most important utility is that, it can be moved very easily from one computer to another. Because of all these reason, Java is the most preferred language of all software proffesionals.

As compared to other programming languages, Java makes it not only more convenient to write, compile and debug, but is also much easier to learn. It allows a user to create modular programs and reusable codes. Java lays a great emphasis on detecting errors in the early stages of forming an application and hence, helps in avoiding problems while executing an application. Java is a multithread programming language and using it, one can design a program which can simultaneously perform several tasks. 

Unlike other programming languages, which either compile the source code to the native code or interpret the source code itself, Java applications are compiled and interpreted at runtime. Much of the syntax of Java is borrowed from the programming languages, C and C++. Security is an integral part of design for this programming language.

To write network programs in this language is the same as to send and receive data to and from a file. For usage on Internet, the programming language was extensively re-designed and since then, Java has been an extremely popular language in the Internet domain as well. There are many Java tutorials available online for all beginners who wish to learn this language.

As of now, we have a large number of Java experts striving for the betterment of Java development. These experts aim to enhance their programming skills in order to write a secure applications. To have the ability to write a secure code in this language, these experts need to be aware of many factors, such as data handling techniques, user authentication rules and access controls. Some of the crucial steps to follow to create a secure Java application development are as follows:

Logical software design
Proper validation
A well planed application development
Standardized security test


For all the above-mentioned factors, Java has become the most widely used programming language to provide effective and efficient Internet solutions. The scripting language JavaScript, although is has the same syntax, is not related to the core Java language
