Introduction to Java for Beginners

Brief History
Java was developed by James Gosling and his team from Sun Microsystems in 1991. It was originally called Oak at that time and was renamed later to java. Java 1.0 was released in 1995 for public implementation for the first time. In the same year, Netscape Incorporated released its latest version of Netscape browser which was capable of running Java programs.

Features of Java


  • Java is Object Oriented Programming (OOP) language, i.e. Java is centered on creating and manipulating objects, and making them work together. This allows you to create modular programs and reusable code.
  • Java takes pride in being a platform independent programming language. Java compilers generate a byte code upon compilation of a java source code.This byte code can be distributed and interpreted on any machine by JVM (Java Virtual Machine) irrespective of its platform.
  • With multi-threading present in Java, it is possible to write programs that can carry out multiple tasks simultaneously. It allows developers to construct smoothly running interactive applications.
  • Java was one of first languages to make security a part of its design.
  • Java puts a lot of emphasis on early checking for possible errors and eliminate them to avoid errors during run time.
  • Java is designed for easy implementation of programming for the distributed environment of the internet.

Advantages of Java


  • Simplicity
  • Platform Independence
  • Security
  • Reliability
  • Object Oriented Programming
  • Multi-Threading

Disadvantage of Java


  • to maintain backward compatibility, some newer features like generics are implemented badly; you notice that this language gets old; other features that newer languages like C# have are missing at all
  • a lot of boilerplate code
  • reverse engineering is very easy, because Java is compiled to an intermediate language (which can also be an advantage, depending on what you want to do though)

Usage of Java
Java is used to develop a variety of applications we see in daily life ranging from web applications to mobile applications. You can find usage of Java in world wide web, laptops, mobile phones, netbooks, tablets, and many other electronic appliances too.

Standard Java Platform and IDE to use
If you do not have Standard Java Platform in your machine, you can download it from here.
After installing the JDK in your machine, all you need is an IDE for java. I personally prefer using Eclipse for this purpose. Netbeans isn't a bad choice either. You can download Eclipse here.
Please note that you must have the Java Environment in your machine before you install the IDE.
If you do not wish to use any IDE, you could write your programs in any text editor (e.g. Notepad) and compile it via command prompt too.

    • ## [1.5.5] - 2026-02-02   ### ✨ New Features - **Discord Login**: You can now sign in with your Discord account. Admins enable and configure Discord login in **cpadmin → Users** (Discord auth settings: Client ID, Client Secret, Redirect URI). If you already have an account with the same email (e.g. forum, Google, or legacy), signing in with Discord links to that account so you keep one profile. Discord login is available on Add Server, My Servers, Vote page, and Premium Ads booking. - **Setup Links**: In **cpadmin → Users**, both Google and Discord login settings now include direct links to their official developer portals (Google Cloud Console and Discord Developer Portal) for easier OAuth app setup.   ### 🔒 Security - **Email Required for Registration**: New user registration via OAuth (Forum, Google, Discord) now requires a valid email address. If the OAuth provider doesn't provide an email (e.g. unverified Discord email), registration is rejected with a clear message. This prevents anonymous accounts and ensures all users can receive important notifications.   ### 🔄 Improvements - **User Auth Badges**: In **cpadmin → Users**, the Registered Members table now shows auth method badges: **Forum**, **Google**, **Discord**, or **Legacy**. Users can have multiple badges if they've linked multiple login methods. - **Server Info Labels**: Translated server info labels (Owner Name, Language, Server Location) are now properly localized in all 5 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Russian).   ---   ## [1.5.4] - 2026-02-01   ### ✨ New Features - **Google Login**: You can now sign in with your Google account. Admins enable and configure Google login in **cpadmin → Users** (Google auth settings: Client ID, Client Secret, Redirect URI). If you already have an account with the same email (e.g. forum or legacy), signing in with Google links to that account so you keep one profile. The login menu (navbar and login prompts) offers **Login with Forum Account**, **Login with Google** (when enabled), and **Create Forum Account**. Google login is available on Add Server, My Servers, Profile Settings, Vote page, and Premium Ads booking. - **Ban/Unban Members**: In **cpadmin → Users**, admins can ban or unban registered members. Banned users see a full-page message: "Sorry, you are banned from using this site." When a user is banned, all their servers are set to inactive. - **Moderator Activity Log**: **cpadmin → Moderators** now records when a moderator or admin enters the CPAdmin panel (e.g. "Moderator X entered CPAdmin panel at <time>") and when they change any cpadmin settings (only write actions are logged; read-only use is not). - **Clear Moderator Logs**: Admins can clear all moderator activity log entries via a **Clear logs** button with confirmation. Logs are shown at 100 per page with pagination. - **Filter by Moderator**: In the Moderator Activity Log, a **Filter by moderator** dropdown lets you view activity for a specific moderator or "All moderators." - **cpadmin → Users Tab**: New **Users** tab in the admin panel with Registered Members list (paginated), Google auth settings card, and per-user Ban/Unban and server links.   ### 🔄 Improvements - **cpadmin → Servers**: Each server name in the servers table is now clickable and opens that server’s info page. - **cpadmin → Users – Servers column**: The servers count/list is clickable and opens a small modal listing that user’s servers; each server name in the modal links to the server info page. - **cpadmin → Users – Search**: A search bar above the Registered Members table lets you search by **username**, **email**, or **server name**. Results are filtered on the server (paginated); clearing the search resets the list. - **Moderator Activity Log**: Pagination shows "Showing X–Y of Z" and "Page N of M" with Previous/Next when there are more than 100 entries. - **Login UI**: Login options (Forum, Google, Create account) are shown in a consistent dropdown and in modals (Add Server, My Servers, Vote, Premium Ads) for a clearer sign-in experience. - **Vote Page – Unauthenticated**: When you must log in to vote, the page now shows "Vote for [Server Name]" as the main heading and presents login options in a compact section.   ---   ## [1.5.3] - 2026-01-30   ### ✨ New Features - **File Logs in Admin Panel**: Admins can now view CodeIgniter PHP logs (api/writable/logs) directly in **cpadmin → Logs**. Select a date to view the log file, refresh to reload, or delete all log files to free up space.   ### 🔄 Improvements - **Cache System**: Full cache audit and improvements — when you clear cache in cpadmin, both backend and frontend caches are cleared. Server listings, My Servers, pricing, ad config, and chronicles all refresh with fresh data. New paid servers now appear in listings and My Servers immediately. - **Admin Panel – Server Rates**: Server rates in the admin servers table now display in compact format (e.g. x10000 → x10k, x100000 → x100k, x1000000 → x1m) for easier scanning. Hover to see the full value.
