1. History of Java
The history of Java is very interesting. Java was originally designed for interactive television, but it
was too advanced technology for the digital cable television industry at the time. The history of Java
starts with the Green Team. Java team members (also known as Green Team), initiated this project to
develop a language for digital devices such as set-top boxes, televisions, etc. However, it was best
suited for internet programming. Later, Java technology was incorporated by Netscape.
The principles for creating Java programming were "Simple, Robust, Portable, Platform-independent,
Secured, High Performance, Multithreaded, Architecture Neutral, Object-Oriented, Interpreted, and
Dynamic". Java was developed by James Gosling, who is known as the father of Java, in 1995. James
Gosling and his team members started the project in the early '90s.
