Java History Overview


What is Java?

Java is a high level programming language and also known as platform because of its
JRE (java runtime environment).

Brief History of Java.

Java language project initially started in June 1991 by James Gosling, Mike Sheridan,
and Patrick Naughton. An oak tree stood outside Gosling’s office at that time and java
named as oak initially. It later renamed as Green and was later renamed as java from
java coffee.

Base concept of java language project.

Write once, run anywhere (WORA) – that means java program can run anywhere and
on any platform. When java code is compiled it is converted into byte code. Now only
this byte code is needed to run using JVM, no need of source code and recompilation.
