History of Java
I know we are not interested in knowing the History of java and just want to learn java and want to become a java developer as soon as possible , of course there is no need to read about history of java to learn java but if you want to make java mix in your soul and breath you should read about its past to know at least where it all started . So my dear readers here presenting the history of JAVA .. tan tan tadeeenn....
And the name of the team was "Green team"
In Jan of 1991, Bill Joy, James Gosling, Mike Sheradin, Patrick Naughton and several others met in Aspen, Colorado to discuss this project. Mike Sheradin was focused on Business Development, Patrick Naughton worked on the Graphics systems and James Gosling was to identify the proper programming language for the project. Gosling thought C and C++ could be used to develop the project. But the problem he faced with them is that they were system dependent languages and hence could not be used various processors which the electronics devices might use. So he start to develop a new language which was completely system independent. This language was initially called as OAK.
Since this name was registered by other company, later it was changed to JAVA.
WHY THE NAME IS JAVA? James Gosling and his team members were consuming a lot of coffee while developing this language. They felt that they were able to develop a better language because of the good quality of coffee they consumed. So the coffee had its own role in developing this language and good quality of coffee was exported to the entire world from a place called 'JAVA ISLAND'. Hence they fixed the name of the place for the language as JAVA. And the symbol for JAVA Language is coffee cup and saucer.
By September of 1994, Naughton and Jonathan Payne started writing WebRunner-a Java based Web browser, which was later renamed as HotJava. By October 1994, HotJava was stable and was demonstrated to Sun executives. HotJava was the first browser, having the capabilities of executing applets, which are programs designed to run dynamically on Internet. This time, Java's potential in the context of the World Wide Web was recognized.
Sun formally announced Java and HotJava at SunWorld conference in 1995. Soon after, Netscape Inc. announced that it would incorporate Java support in its browser Netscape Navigater. Later, Microsoft also announced that they would support Java in their Internet Explorer Web browser.

so that was the history of java I hope you have enjoyed the tale , there are many tales about history of java but believe me this seems the real one .... any way have a good day ...

once upon a time....
In 1990, Sun Microsystems Inc. (US) has conceived a project to develop software for "consumer electronic" devices that could be controlled by a remote. This project was called Stealth Project but later its name was changed to Green Project.
And the name of the team was "Green team"
