Introduction to Core Java

1.     James Gosling and his team initialed the Java project in June 1991. The small team of Sun engineers called ‘Green Team’.
2.     Originally designed for small, embedded systems in electronic appliances, like set-top boxes, etc.
3.     Firstly, it was called ‘Green talk’ by James Gosling and file extension was .gt
4.     After that, it was called ‘OAK’ and was developed as a part of ‘Green Project’.
5.     In 1995, ‘OAK’ was renamed as ‘JAVA’, because it was already a trademark by ‘OAK Technologies’.
6.     Java, initially developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which is now a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995.
7.     ‘Jdk 1.0’ the first version of Java programming language, released in January, 1996.
8.     Java is an “Object oriented programming” (OOP) language.
9.     Java programs are platform independent, which means they can be run on any operating system with any type of processor as long as the ‘Java Interpreter’ is available on the system.
10.                        A Java code that runs on one platform does not need to be re-compiled to run on another platform. It’s called “Write once, read anywhere”.

·         Architectural nature.
·         Portable programming language.
·         Multi-threaded programming language.
·         Interpreted programming language.
·         High performance.
·         Distributed programming language.
·         Dynamic programming language (more than C and C++)
