My First Day Learning Java 🚀

Today was a special day — I officially started my journey into the world of Java programming.
But before I jumped into coding, I realized something important:
to really understand programming, I need to understand how a computer actually works.

So, my first learning steps were not just about Java syntax — they were about the basics of Computer Organization and Operating Systems.

Basics of Input/Output Devices

I learned that I/O devices are the parts of a computer that let us communicate with it.

• Input Devices: Like keyboard, mouse, scanner — they send data into the computer.

• Output Devices: Like monitor, printer, speakers — they show results from the computer.

CPU – The Brain of the Computer

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is where all the actual thinking happens.
It has three main parts:

1. Control Unit (CU): Directs how data moves.

2. Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): Does calculations & logic operations.

3. Registers: Small, super-fast storage areas inside the CPU.

Memory – Where Data Lives

I discovered there are two main types of memory:

• Primary Memory (RAM, Cache): Fast, temporary storage for running programs.

• Secondary Memory (Hard drives, SSDs): Permanent storage for files and applications.

Computer Organization & OS Basics

I got an overview of Computer Organization — how CPU, memory, and I/O devices connect and work together.
I also learned the role of an Operating System:

• Acts as a bridge between the user and hardware.

• Manages resources like CPU, memory, and devices.

• Examples: Windows, Linux, macOS.

Even though I didn’t write much Java code today, I feel I’ve built a strong foundation to understand how Java will run on a computer.
Tomorrow, I’m planning to dive into Java syntax and write my first program!
