History of Java

Java was created in 1991 by James Gosling as a project called "Oak" to implement a virtual machine and language with C-like notation but greater uniformity and simplicity than C/C++. The first public version was Java 1.0 in 1995, which promised "Write Once, Run Anywhere" with free runtimes on popular platforms and was fairly secure with configurable security allowing network and file access to be limited. Major web browsers incorporated Java securely as applets and it became popular quickly, with new versions for large and small platforms (J2EE and J2ME) designed as "Java 2".

HISTORY OF JAVA

Java was started as a project called "Oak" by James Gosling in June 1991. Gosling's goals were to
implement a virtual machine and a language that had a familiar C-like notation but with greater
uniformity and simplicity than C/C++. The first public implementation was Java 1.0 in 1995. It made the
promise of "Write Once, Run Anywhere", with free runtimes on popular platforms. It was fairly secure
and its security was configurable, allowing for network and file access to be limited. The major web
browsers soon incorporated it into their standard configurations in a secure "applet" configuration.
popular quickly. New versions for large and small platforms (J2EE and J2ME) soon were designed with
the advent of "Java 2". Sun has not announced any plans for a "Java 3".
