Java
Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. to create executable content (i.e, self-running applications) that can be easily distributed through networks like the Internet. Developers use Java to create special programs called applets that can be incorporated in web pages to make them interactive. A Java-enabled web browser is required to interpret and run the Java applets.
