How to Download Java (JDK) for Windows
Java is a programming language that is quite popular today. Many large companies use this programming to handle the systems they are developing.
This programming language was first released in 1995,
created by James Gosling while still joining Sun Microsystems which is
currently part of Oracle.
The most prominent advantage of Java is that it can be run
on various computer operating systems. With this advantage you only need to
write a java program once and the results can be run on any operating system
without making any changes.
Apart from the fairly general functionality of Java, another
reason why you should install Java is that it is a popular and widely used
programming language.
The more popular the programming language you understand,
the more big companies will want to hire you to work for that company.
Besides that, technically Java is also sometimes a system
that you have to install before you install the main application to learn other
things such as Oracle PL/SQL, Oracle Report, Oracle Forms and others.
