Introduction to Java

It was initially known as "Oak" and that first version was launched in around 1991 . And it was the outcome of 18 months efforts of Java language programmer/developers.  Main force to develop such kind of language that can be work on any machine means architecture-neutral or platform-independent. That means programs developed in Java can run on any specific machine or device like Microwave Oven, Fridge, etc.

There are different types of CPU used as Controllers. But the problem with C,C++ and many other languages was that It was developed in such a way that program written on that language can work/execute on particular CPU only. So the developers of that time had begun to develop a language that can be portable, platform-independent and thus Java has stared its journey.

Besides with need of platform-independency there was an another force pushing the developing process hard. It was World Wide Web. Actually World Wide Web and Java were being shaped parallel. Both were getting height because of each other's support. Java help the internet by its applets, in turn internet have profound effect on java. 

Ok so this is a little page from History of Java. More in next article.

Babye. :)
