INTRODUCTION TO JAVA
Java
is a general-purpose object-oriented programming language developed by Sun
Microsystems of USA in 1991. Originally called Oak by James Gosling, one of the
inventors of the language, Java was designed for the development of software for
consumer electronic devices like TVs, VCRs, toasters and such other electronic
machines.
This
goal had a string impact on the development team to make the language simple,
portable and highly reliable. The Java team, which included Patrick Naughton,
discovered that the existing languages like C and C++ had limitations in terms
of both reliability and portability. However, they modeled their new language
Java on C and C++ but removed a number of features of C and C++ that were
considered as sources of problems and thus made Java a really simple, reliable,
portable, and powerful language.
The most striking features of the language s that it is a platform-neural
language. Java is the first programming language that is not tied to any
particular hardware or operating system. Programs developed in Java can be
executed anywhere on any system. We can call Java as a revolutionary technology
because it has brought in a fundamental shift in how we develop and use
programs.
