Java: Computer Programming Language History

Introduction

Java, fast! Java, secure! Java, made by Sun! All these thing's are like duh things but what about it's history? Did you know it was once called Oak at one time? If yes, Great! Java is a Computer Programming language by Sun Micro-system's Corporation. These people are smart. I don't know any one who could ever make so many great program's that all of us need to use!

Let's Get Started!

Now Java is a historical masterpiece! Java is like a quarter in you money pouch! Not able to ever get rid of it. But who started Java? Why did it begin? Who all helped make it? Why was it called Oak? These are very easy to Answer.

Who Started Java? And Why?

Now this is a simple question. It was Bill Joy who thought of the idea's and features of Java. He is now the Vice-President of Sun Micro-system's. He designed Java for a implementation of the two language's named "MESA" and "C". He started using a re-written UNIX system but he decided that C++ was not workable for the Job.

Oak

Oak was the first name of Java until it got changed. Oak was named from a tree outside Gosling's door. This where the major production of current Java started.

World-Wide-Web

Once java was officially named "Java". They looked at Making Java BIGGER and more advanced. They eventually thought of using the World-Wide-Web (Internet) to expand. They eventually thought of the idea of Applet's.
