JAVA EVOLUTION

JAVA HISTORY

Java is a general purpose,objecto-oriendted programming lanugage
developed by Sun Microsytems of USA in 1991. Originally called Oak
by James gosling,one of the inventors of the language,JAVA was
designed for the development of software for consumer electronic
devices like TVs,VCRs.The goal had a strong impact on the
development team to make the language simple,portable and highly
reliable.

The JAVA team which included patric Naughtom discovered
that the existing languages like C and C++ had limitations in terms
of both reliability and portability.However, they modelled their
new language Java on C and C++ that were considered as sources
of problems and thus made Java a really simple,reliable,portable
and powerful.
