History of Java

          Before starting with a anyother thing,i would like to introduce java to those people who are new to it and don't have any idea of incessant power of java.
                                                      
James gosling popularly know as father of java,with his other colleagues Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton initiated the Java language project in June 1991.The language was initially called oak after an oak tree that stood outside Gosling's office; it went by the name Green later, and was later renamed Java, from Java coffee, said to be consumed in large quantities by the language's creators.The first version of java i.e java 1.0 in 1995 by the worlds renowned company Sun Microsystems with a promise of Write Once Run Anywhere(WORA).

Major web browsers soon incorporated the ability to run Java applets within web pages, and Java quickly became popular. With the advent of Java 2 (released initially as J2SE 1.2 in December 1998 – 1999), new versions had multiple configurations built for different types of platforms. For example, J2EE targeted enterprise applications and the greatly stripped-down version J2ME for mobile applications (Mobile Java). J2SE designated the Standard Edition. In 2006, for marketing purposes, Sun renamed new J2 versions as Java EE, Java ME, and Java SE, respectively.                                                                    


On January 10 2010, Sun Microsystems  was being acquired by Oracle Corporation,the third largest software maker after Big Blue(Microsoft) and IBM.And james gosling who dedicated himself to Sun Microsystems over a year is now working with Google Inc.
 

So,this hows java was being invented and was put to an operation for ease and fluent technology for peoples.
