JAVA Programming language (INTRODUCTION)

JAVA

Hello.....!

Today, I am going to put some facts on your mind about a most popular programming language called JAVA. First of all , I will introduce this language below....

• 1991 - James Gosling, Sun Microsystems , Inc.

• Originally a platform independent language for programming home appliances and was called “Oak”later renamed “Java” in 1995.

• Later (1994) used for World Wide Web applications (since byte code can be downloaded and run without compiling it)

• Eventually used as a general-purpose programming language (for the same reason as above plus it is object-oriented)

• Why the name “Java”? Java was then named “Java”, paying homage to the large amounts of coffee consumed by the team.

• Now owns by Oracle

• Full-fledged application programming language

•  Additional capability as a Web programming language (currently the strength of its application base)

•  A pure OO programming language

•  NOT radical or especially new

•  Adopts its looks from C++, and its behavior from Smalltalk

•  Compiled to processor-neutral instruction set then interpreted on each supporting platform

•  Extremely fast adoption rate! (due to WWW)
