Java: History

null
I am a java developer, and fell in love with java back in my college life. Many words aside, and let’s roll on our shirts, take a pen and a book.
Ideally java was developed principally to:
• solve the problem of connecting many household machines together
• Then it was redesigned to work with cable TV
Both objectives failed due to unwilling clients.

Since January 23, 1996 (Release of JDK 1.0), java has greatly evolved through many more versions with expectation of JSE 8 in 2012.
Today, with technology such a part of our daily lives, we take it for granted that we can be connected and access applications and content anywhere, anytime. Because of Java, we expect digital devices to be smarter, more functional, and way more entertaining.

In the early 90s, extending the power of network computing to the activities of everyday life was a radical vision. In 1991, a small group of Sun engineers called the "Green Team" believed that the next wave in computing was the union of digital consumer devices and computers. Led by James Gosling, the team worked around the clock and created the programming language that would revolutionize Java.

When Gosling and company invented java, they meant well. Indeed kudos. As OAK, Mike Sheridan, Patrick Naughton, and James Gosling tried to figure out the next big thing in the world of computer. Like Oracle (here I feel like writing Sun) says, “Since 1995, Java has changed our world . . . and our expectations...” java has really taken the world of development to another higher level.


Java was developed independently of the web, and went through several stages of metamorphosis before reaching its current status of de facto programming language for the World Wide Web.
WWW made java so popular because its characteristics were so much needed when it was introduced.

Just like the yesterday’s future seemed promising, Java’s today’s future is promising.

Enjoy a Cup of Coffee
