Computer Programming 2 Pascua

Java is a widely-used programming language known for its simplicity, versatility, and platform independence, allowing applications to run on various operating systems. Developed by James Gosling and his team at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s, Java's 'write once, run anywhere' philosophy transformed the software industry. The language has evolved to support mobile apps, web applications, and enterprise systems, with significant portions released as free and open-source software.

1. What is Java?
o Java is a popular programming language used to create software applications and
programs. It is known for its simplicity, versatility, and platform independence,
meaning it can run on different operating systems. Java programs are compiled
into bytecode, which can be executed on any device that has a Java Virtual
Machine (JVM). Java is widely used for developing mobile apps, web
applications, and large-scale enterprise systems, and it was computing platform
first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. It has evolved from humble
beginnings to power a large share of today’s digital world, by providing the
reliable platform upon which many services and applications are built. New,
innovative products and digital services designed for the future continue to rely on
Java, as well.

2. History of Java?
o Java was developed by James Gosling and his team at Sun Microsystems in the
early 1990s. It was originally designed for use in consumer electronics, but its
flexibility and portability led to its adoption for internet programming. Java's
"write once, run anywhere" philosophy revolutionized the software industry,
allowing developers to create applications that could run on any device with a
Java Virtual Machine. In 1997, Sun reached out to the ISO/IEC JTC1 and then
Ecma International to formalize Java, but they quickly withdrew. Java continues
to be a de facto proprietary standard regulated by the Java Community Process.
With the revenue generated by a new vision, such as the Java Enterprise
Framework, Sun made several Java implementations free of charge. The critical
difference is that the compiler is not present in the JRE, differentiating between its
Software Development Kit (SDK) and JRE (JRE). On 13 November 2006, Sun
launched a considerable amount of Java in the GNU General Public License as
free and open-source software (GPL) (GPL). On 8 May 2007, Sun completed the
process by releasing a fully accessible, all-free, and open-source Java core code,
except for a small portion of the code that Sun did not copyright.
