Learn Java from Scratch - A Beginner's Guide - Step 01 - Overview of the Java Platform - an Introduction - java, javac,

This video provides an overview of compiling and executing Java code, focusing on the concept of platform independence. It explains how Java achieves this through byte code and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which converts byte code into operating system-specific instructions. The video outlines the two main phases of running Java code: compilation, which generates byte code, and execution, where the JVM translates byte code into executable instructions. The video aims to give a comprehensive understanding of these processes and introduces the next step of writing a Java class.
