HISTORY AND FEATURES OF JAVA LANGUAGE:

History of JAVA:Java was conceived by James Gosling, Patrick Naughton, Chris Warth, Ed Frank and Mike Sheridan at Sun Microsystems, Inc. in 1991. It took 18 months to develop the first working version. This Language was initially called “Oak”, but was renamed “Java” in 1995.

          The original impetus for Java was not the Internet. Instead the primary motivation was the need for a platform independent (i.e. architecture neutral) language that could be used to create software to be embedded in various consumer electronic devices, such as microwave oven and remote controls.
