Java History | Beginning

Java Beginning How java was created : In the 90's , A team named Green was assigned a project whose goal is to create a device that controls the variety of day-to-day electronics. The Team consisting two main developers : James Gosling and Patrick Naughton, and an Engineer Mike Sheridan.

Firstly the developers choose to work with C/C++ (which was the latest languages on that time) but they found various difficulties regarding reliability but speed was efficient, as we know that in consumer electronics reliability is much-more important than speed. Gosling realized that what they needed was a new programming Language.

Gosling and Naughton worked together and created a new language which they initially called "Oak".

"Java Programming Language was the part of a research project developed for an embedded system and for digital network devices like television, set-top-box, etc."

Java was created by James Gosling at Sun Microsystem and Java 1.0 was firstly implemented publicly in 1995. It made a promise of "Write Once, Run Anywhere".

Principle behind creation: The Principle behind creating java was to make a simple, portable, robust, secured, multithreaded, object-oriented, interpreted, platform independent and high performance language.

Change in Development Cycle: The Development cycle was become much faster because java technology is interpreted. There was a cycle -" compile-link-load-test-crash-debug" which everyone used, but now with java you have to Compile and Run.
