Complete Java SE 8 Developer Bootcamp - The Java Platform

The video tutorial explains the Java platform, focusing on its components: the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the Application Programming Interface (API). It highlights the platform's independence and its ability to run other languages like Groovy and Scala. The tutorial also covers the process of writing Java applications, using APIs, and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). It details how Java applications are both compiled and interpreted, producing bytecode that the JVM translates into machine code, ensuring platform independence.
