Introduction to JAVA ( Basic )
- The Creation - The java was created by James Gosling , Patrick Naughton , Chris Warth , Ed Frank and Mike Sheridan at Sun Microsystems , Inc. in 1991 . This language was initially named as "oak" but was renamed " java " in 1995 . - The basic reason that lead to the creation of java was NOT internet , but was the need of a platform independent language that could be used to create software to be embedded in various consumer electronic devices such as Microwave Ovens , Remote Controls etc . - The trouble with C , C++ is that they are designed to be compiled for a specific target . Although it is possible to compile a C++ program for just about any type of CPU , to do so it requires a full C++ compiler targeted for that CPU. - The problem is that Compilers are expensive and time consuming to create.
