*) Introduction To java

| Java-James gosling |
*) James Gosling is a famous Canadian Software developer who has been with Sun
Microsystems since 1984 and is considered as father of Java programming language.
*) Goslingdid the original design of Java and implemented its original compiler and virtual machine.
*) In 1990, Sun Micro Systems Inc. (US) was conceived a project to develop software for
consumer electronic devices that could be controlled by a remote. This project was called
Stealth Project but later its name was changed to Green Project.
*) In January 1991, Project Manager James Gosling and his team members Patrick Naughton,
Mike Sheridan, Chris Wrath, and Ed Frank met to discuss about this project.
*) Gosling thought C and C++ would be used to develop the project. But the problem he faced
with them is that they were system dependent languages. The trouble with C and C++ (and
most other languages) is that they are designed to be compiled for a specific target and could
not be used on various processors, which the electronic devices might use.
*) James Gosling with his team started developing a new language, which was completely
system independent. This language was initially called OAK. Since this name was registered
by some other company, later it was changed to Java.
*) How They Decide Symbol of java.?
*) James Gosling and his team members were consuming a lot of coffee while developing this
language. Good quality of coffee was supplied from a place called “Java Island’. Hence they
fixed the name of the language as Java. The symbol for Java language is cup and saucer.
*) Sun formally announced Java at Sun World conference in 1995. On January 23rd 1996,
JDK1.0 version was released.
