Who Created Java?: Syntax

Java is a computer programming language that allows programmers to write instructions using English-based commands rather than numeric codes. It was created in the early 1990s by James Gosling and a team at Sun Microsystems, originally for use on mobile devices but later focused on use on the internet by providing interactivity on webpages. To start programming in Java, one must download and install the Java development kit and then use a basic tutorial to write a first Java program.

Java is a computer programming language.

It enables programmers to write


computer instructions using English-based commands instead of having to
write in numeric codes. Its known as a high-level language because it can be
read and written easily by humans. Like English, Java has a set of rules that
determine how the instructions are written. These rules are known as
its syntax. Once a program has been written, the high-level instructions are
translated into numeric codes that computers can understand and execute.

WHO CREATED JAVA?

In the early nineties, Java was created by a team led by James Gosling for
Sun Microsystems. It was originally designed for use on digital mobile
devices, such as cellphones. However, when Java 1.0 was released to the
public in 1996, its main focus had shifted to use on the internet. It provided
interactivity with users by giving developers a way to produce animated
webpages. Over the years, it evolved as a successful language for use both on
and off the internet.

WHERE DO I START?

To start programming in Java, you first need to download and install


the Java development kit.

After you have the JDK installed on your computer, there's nothing to stop
you from using a basic tutorial to write your first Java program.
