paul: html is the language to make a webpage. it's a set of tags, you described, this is a headline, this is a paragraph and so forth. that's how -- the web is fundamentally in these markup tags in that content. java is a straight up programming language. you sit down and write code, write instructions, and it is all compiled together. there's lots of lineages like -- languages like this. what makes java very interesting is it is very popular in the enterprise. it is a big language for building big systems. charlie: it came out of sun microsystems, didn't it? paul ford: right, and it is well aligned with the goals of oracle. what makes java so possible is that has an enormous amount of pre-existing, very well organized code. charlie: help me here. a language java or html or whatever it might be, there are 1700 coding languages. josh: that's just the beginning. charlie: ok, the beginning. what is a language? josh: it's really just a set of instructions. charlie: that's what it is? paul ford: yeah, it's guidelines. if you do these

. >> rose: tell me the difference between java and html. >> paul can. i can do that with tremendous fluency, but that's sort of why this conversation started. why do people choose different languages. >> html is what you use to make a web page -- this is to describe, a headline a paragraph. so the web is fundamentally in the markup tags around the content. java is a straight-up programming language. you sit down you write code, you write instructions and it all compiles together. there's lots of languages like this. what makes java very interesting, one, it's very popular in the enterprise. it is a big language for building big systems. >> rose: came from microsystems, didn't it? >> and well aligned with the goals of oracle. but what makes java so powerful is it has an enormous at of preexisting well organized code. >> rose: help me. a language -- java, html or whatever it might be, there are 1700 coding languages -- >> that's just the beginning. >> rose: okay, the beginning. what is a language? that's what i want to ask. >> it's really just a set of in
