The static keyword denotes that a member variable, or method, can be accessed without requiring an instantiation of the class to which it belongs. In simple terms, it means that you can call a method, even if you've never created the object to which it belongs! Every time you run a stand-alone application (which requires a static main method), the virtual machine can call the main method without creating a new application object. Of course, unless the application's methods are all static, you will need to create an instance of it at some point. With regard to member variables, it means that they can be read from, and written to, without creating an object.
There is a big difference between static functions in C and static member functions in C++. In C, a static function is not visible outside of its translation unit, which is the object file it is compiled into. In other words, making a function static limits its scope.
