Java, originally called Oak, is an object-oriented programming language, developed by James Gosling of Sun Microsystems and released in 1995. In just a few years, Java has taken the software culture by storm. Java is the foundation for web and networked services, platform-independent desktops, robotics and other implanted services.
There are some primary goals in Java creation. It should be:
- Simple and object-oriented
- Safe and Secure
- Platform independent
- Portable
- High performance
- Multi-threaded and Dynamic
- Garbage collected
What’s most extraordinary about Java in relation to other programming languages is that it lets you write special programs called applets that can be downloaded from the Internet and played carefully within a web browser.
Java technology, now entering its 15th year, offers different values to different types of users.
- For consumers - Java is the first software technology that works simply without a struggle. Consumers are enchanted to see applications that run consistently on an array of network products – from PCs, game players and mobile phones to home appliances and automotive electronics.
- For business - Java represents performance, flexibility and efficiency.
- For developers - Java allows them to write software on one platform and run it practically on any other platform. It lets them generate multi-threaded programs that run within web browsers.
