Java is a simple, object-oriented, distributed, interpreted, robust, secure, and structure-neutral, portable dynamic language with excellent performance and multithreading.
After SUN launched the Java language in 1995, the eyes of the world were attracted by this magic language. So what is the magic of Java?
Java language was first born in 1991. It was originally called the OAK language and is a general environment designed by SUN for some consumer electronic products. Their initial goal was to develop a platform-independent software technology, and before the emergence of the network, OAK could be said to be unknown, or even almost died. However, the emergence of the network has changed the fate of OAK.
Before the emergence of Java, information on the Internet was boring and rigid HTML documents. This is intolerable for those infatuated with WEB browsing. They are eager to see some interactive content on the WEB, and developers are also eager to create an application that can be executed without considering the hardware and software platforms on the WEB, of course, these programs require great security. Traditional programming languages are powerless to address this requirement. SUN's engineers were keenly aware of this. Since 1994, they began to apply the OAK technology to the WEB and developed the first HotJava version. When SUN officially launched Java in 1995, almost all WEB developers lamented: Oh, this is exactly what I want! So Java became a dazzling star, and the ugly duckling suddenly became a white swan.
