My intention for this blog is to write what I know and understand about the Java Programming Language. I hope this help’s anybody seeking and wanting to learn Java Programming. I am going to start from the very beginning to enable visitors of my site learn the Language from the very start.
History of Java Programming
The microprocessor revolution’s most important contribution to date is that it made possible the development of personal computers. Personal Computers have greatly affected people’s lives and the ways organisations conduct and manage their businesses. Recognising this, Sun Microsystems in 1991 funded an internal corporate research project named Green, which resulted in C++ based language that its creator, James Gosling, called Oak after an oak tree outside his window at Sun. it was later discovered that there was already a Programming Language called Oak. When a group of Sun Microsystems employees visited a local coffee shop, the name Java was suggested and that was how Java Programming Knowledge got its name.
The Green project ran into some difficulties. The marketplace for intelligent consumer-electronic devices was not developing in the early 1990s as quickly as Sun had anticipated. The project was in danger of being cancelled. By good fortune, the World Wide Web exploded in 1993 and Sun people saw the potential of using Java to add dynamic content, such as interactivity and animations, to web pages. This then breathed new life into the project.
Sun Microsystems formally announced Java at an industry conference in May 1995. Java gathered the attention of business communities because of the phenomenal interest in the World Wide Web. Java is now used to develop large- scale enterprise applications, to enhance the functionality of web servers to provide applications for consumer devices (e.g., cell phones, pagers and personal digital assistants) and for many other purposes.
