Java is a programming language which is used for developing so many applications and programs in present IT industry. In Java you can write code in form of classes something similar to C++ language. And it’s a purely Object Oriented Programming Language. Java is also a platform Independent language i.e you can write code in one OS and can run same compiled code in another OS. Java supports millions library classes which you can be imported while coding. These libraries provide billions of methods and these methods help programmer to develop a well optimized and readable code.

Java language developed by company “Sun Micro System” and creator is James Gosling.Sun micro System Started by group of the students who are studying in Stanford University.These peoples found the problem in their room with electronic consumable remote. That means one electronic consumable control is not worked on another electronics consumable. These people want to develop a common remote control which is controlling all the electronic consumables so their contacted James Gosling and requested for the projects.James Gosling decided to develop a language for consumer devices (cable boxes, etc.). They wanted the language to be small and use efficient code since these devices do not have powerful CPUs. They also wanted the language to be hardware independent since different manufacturers would use different CPUs.  Sun Micro System started by group of students out of them one person also Indian whose name “Vinode Khosla”.

With Java, Sun Microsystems established the first programming language that wasn’t tied to any particular operating system or microprocessor. James Gosling and his team members given the project name as “Green” started in the year 1990 and common remote control completed in the year 1992.

The James Gosling team develop a new language called as “OAK” But there was another language called Oak , they decided to rename OAK. New name was given to OAK , OAK was renamed Java in1994.Scientifically Java is one of the coffee seed name.Java was publicly released on May 27, 1995.

Java’s principles developed to build a software for consumer electronics products in the homelike the VCR, the microwave oven, the security system, and the stereo system.

Note:  SUN is the acronym for the Stanford University Network.

Note:  The unofficial abbreviation of java is “Just another virtual analyzer” (JAVA).
