History of Java language

Answer 1

Java is a programming language. Java is an easy transition for C++ coders. C++ and Java are similar in coding styles of notation. The reason why Java is used often is because Java is safe, portable, and is being improved day by day. Java was initiated by James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton in 1991. The mascot for Java is Duke.Java was originally designed for interactive television, but it was too advanced. Sun Microsystems (Original owner of Java) first published the first public implementation as Java 1.0 in 1995. For all new Java programmers, use the Java API as a tool for coding. Java API helps a lot on figuring out on how methods work. Unfortunately, Oracle Corporation's had an acquisition of Sun Microsystems and bought Java off them.

Java 1.02: 250 classes. Slow with lots of bugs.

Java 1.1: 500 classes. A little faster. Friendlier, gaining popularity, and a better GUI code.

Java 2.0: 2300 classes. Much faster. Became the language of choice for new enterprise and mobile applications.

Java 5.0: 3500 classes. More powerful (Easier to develop). Changes to the language itself making it more easily understood as well as implemented features that were popular in other languages at the time.
