Who made Java?
• James Gosling, Patrick Naughton and Mike Sheridan, initiated the Java language
project in June 1991. The small team of sun engineers was called the Green Team.
The language was initially called Oak after an oak tree that stood outside Gosling's
office. Later the project went by the name Green and was finally renamed Java,
from Java coffee, a type of coffee from Indonesia.
• Gosling designed Java with a C/C++-style syntax that system and application
programmers would find familiar. Java was originally designed for interactive
television, but it was too advanced for the digital cable television industry at the
time. Sun Microsystems released the first public implementation as Java 1.0 in 1996.
• Inheritance
- A mechanism in which one object acquires all the properties and
behaviors of a parent object.
• Polymorphism
- The ability of an object to take on many forms. It occurs when a
parent class reference is used to refer to a child class object.
What is Java used for?
Conclusion - A world without JAVA?
• Java will still be required and used since new, innovative products and digital
services designed for the future continue to rely on Java, as well, since it is a
revolutionary programming language that has completely changed the way
programming is done by software programmers worldwide.
• Estimates show that over 6.5 million developers are now using the language
across a wide range of devices
