Java technology is about design, not just coding

Like any human language, Java provides a way to express concepts. This means of expression is significantly easier and more flexible than other alternatives as problems to solve grow and become more complex.

Java technology is not just a collection of features because features make no sense when isolated. It actually deals with a wide range of design concepts: interface versus implementation, abstraction and encapsulation, messages and functions, inheritance and composition, the all-important polymorphism, object creation and automatic cleaning with the magical garbage collector, error handling with exceptions, multi tasking, (limited) reflection, etc... In a way Java is - as a general purpose language - a very good compromise of all high-level languages that have been designed, used and tested during the three last decades.

Eventually there are other languages and Java connects easily with these other languages (C++, C, ASM, etc.), allowing smart legacy code management and smooth transitions.
