The origins of Java

Java is a computer programming language, with Cross-platform, object-oriented, generic programming features, widely used in enterprise-level Web application development and mobile application development.

James Goslin, a solar micro-system, developed the prototype of the Java language in the early 1990 's, initially named Oak, the program language for small systems such as household appliances, and the control and communication of household appliances such as televisions, telephones, alarm clocks and toasters. Sun gave up the plan because the market demand for these smart appliances was not as high as expected. With the development of the Internet in the 1990 's, Sun Company saw the prospect of oak application on the Internet, and then transformed Oak, which was officially released in the name of Java in May 1995. With the rapid development of the Internet, Java is becoming an important network programming language.

Java since the advent of the very popular, rapid development, the C + + language has formed a powerful impact. Java technology, with its superior versatility, high efficiency, platform portability and security, is widely used in personal PCs, data centers, gaming consoles, science supercomputers, mobile phones and the Internet, and has the world's largest developer professional community. In the global cloud computing and mobile Internet industry environment, Java has a significant advantage and broad prospects.
