The story goes that Java was originally going to be called Oak. However, while the designers were happy with the name, they found that another, albeit dead, programming language was already called Oak. So, trying to come up with a new name, they were all sitting around drinking coffee (commonly called "java" in some areas), and the name hit them in a caffeine-induced haze.

Am doing mca3rd year i doubt about what course like JAVA or .NET SIR but i think choose java what about the JAVA what java?

Yes you should go with java, it is used much more than .net currently. Java gets its name from Sun Java how owns java. Before java was released to the public it was called oak because of an oak tree outside of the office of the person who created it. Some people think it got its current name because oak is not a good name for a language, and that it took lots of coffee (java) to make java.
