- Hi Brian, I also have no Java experience at all and am new in this field but I have already started with HTML just to learn coding in that language, busy learning CSS now then Java Script. I have always wanted to become a programmer, I am quiet old but always believe that age will not stand on your way. Thank you for sharing the Java YouTube channel, I will watch!!!!

- I don't know anything about Java - what are some basic real life uses and how did you get into learning it?
- Brian BenzHi Cat! I originally started working with Java in 1999, when I was working on this book - https://www.amazon.com/Powered-Domino-Lotus-Redbook-Books24x7/dp/073842109X From then, Java was a big part of my career in my own business, plus my career at IBM, Deloitte and others. My java background was also one of the main reasons that I was hired at Microsoft in 2012, to help them with their open-source initiatives. There are too many real-life uses to cover in a single comment, but mainly these days Java is an important part of big data, AI and scalable applications that run everything from banking to aerospace.

Developers use Java to construct applications in laptops, data centres, game consoles, scientific supercomputers, cell phones, and other devices. I worked in a Large Bank that used Java to process payments in 1998 as my first Java role. check out our video series, Java for beginners: https://aka.ms/javaforbeginners
- Bill Walter from Knoxville TN USA What is Jave vs Java Script vs Typescript?

- rorypreddy
Excited to be here. AMA on:
-->Java Language Basics.
-->Visual Studio Code with Java.
-->Azure Container Apps with Java.
-->Playwright testing framework.
-->GitHub Actions with Java.
- Why not javascript?
- rorypreddyThe main difference between Java and JavaScript is that Java is an OOP programming language while JavaScript is an OOP programming script. JavaScript code is written completely in text and need only be interpreted. Java, on the other hand, must be compiled.
