What is Java ?
Java is a programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995.
why do I need it?
There are lots of
applications and websites that will not work unless you have Java
installed, and more are created every day. Java is fast, secure, and
reliable. From laptops to datacenters, game consoles to scientific
supercomputers, cell phones to the Internet, Java is everywhere!
Why Java Is Important to the Internet??
The Internet helped catapult Java to the forefront of programming, and Java, in turn,has had a profound effect on the Internet. The reason for this is quite simple: Java expands the universe of objects that can move about freely in cyberspace. In a network, two very broad categories of objects are transmitted between the server and your personal computer: passive information and dynamic, active programs.
The Java Buzzwords
No discussion of the genesis of Java is complete without a look at the Java buzzwords.
Although the fundamental forces that necessitated the invention of Java are portability
and security, other factors also played an important role in molding the final form of
the language. The key considerations were summed up by the Java team in the
following list of buzzwords:
■ Simple
■ Secure
■ Portable
■ Object-oriented
■ Robust
■ Multithreaded
■ Architecture-neutral
■ Interpreted
■ High performance
■ Distributed
■ Dynamic
Two of these buzzwords have already been discussed: secure and portable. Let’s examine what each of the others implies.To be Continue ....
