U2: Introduction to Java Fundamentals

Sequential technique that accepts input and produces output needed to solve problem

Writing code computers can translate and understand (ex: programs, applications)

Ideas, concepts and mathematics behind computer programming

• Write code for software. • Employed in software development and IT.

• Computer use • Reading and writing text • Finding information

• Oral communication • Scheduling/budgeting/accounting • Data analysis • Job task planning

• Decision making & problem solving • Measurement and calculation • Critical thinking

• Organizes program and files; ensures code is correct • Software allows writing of programs

Software turning code into viable computer program

• Hosted and accessed through Internet; runs on remote servers • Accessible by any device

Installed on developer’s computer

• Enables real-time collaboration from different locations • Enhances team productivity; streamlines development

• Provides scalability of computing resources • Developers can scale projects up or down without limits on hardware

• Built-in integrations with other development tools • Easy to add version control, deployment pipelines, continuous integration, other features

Provide faster performance; especially for intensive computing resources

• Handle maintenance on server side • Reduces burden on developers to manage software installations

• More flexibility; allows many things • Design of GUIs

Don’t require internet connection

• Configuring of settings; install of plugins • Tailoring environment to workflow

• Provide greater control over data security • Good for sensitive information

• More control over resources allocated • Beneficial for resource-intensive work

• Java doesn’t require compiling program for different computer systems • Occurs by compiler-interpreter model

• Moving data from Ram to register • Sending data to peripheral device • Machine code from Windows won’t run on Apple system

• Turning programming language code into machine language code • Program is translated, put together, built into machine language
