Java programming language

The first Java programming language was born from the Green Project, which runs for 18 months, from early 1991 until the summer of 1992. The project is not using a version called Oak. The project was initiated by Patrick Naughton, Mike Sheridan, James Gosling and Bill Joy, along with nine other programmers from Sun Microsystems. One result of this project is the Duke mascot created by Joe Palrang. Project meeting took place in an office building on Sand Hill Road Menlo Park. Around the summer of 1992 the project was closed by generating a Java program's first Oak, which is intended as a hardware controller with touch screen technology (touch screen), such as the PDA is today. This new technology called "* 7" (Seven Star).



           After the era of Star Seven completed, a subsidiary of cable TV plus a few people interested in the project The Green Project. They focus their activities on an office space at 100 Hamilton Avenue, Palo Alto. The new company look up: number of employees increased in a short time from 13 to 70 people. At this period also specified the use of Internet as a medium that bridges work and ideas between them. In the early 1990s, the Internet is still a stub, which is used only in academic circles and the military. They make the browser (browser) Mosaic as an initial basis for making the first browser, called Java Web Runner, inspired by the film of the 1980s, Blade Runner. In the development of the first release, the Web Runner renamed Hot Java.
In about March 1995, for the first time the Java source code version 1.0a2 opened. Their success was followed by coverage for the first time in the newspaper San Jose Mercury News on May 23, 1995. Unfortunately discord among them one day at 04.00 in a hotel room Sheraton Palace. Three of the main leaders of the project, Eric Schmidt and George Paolini from Sun Microsystems along with Marc Andreessen, Netscape form. Oak's name, taken from an oak tree growing in front of the workspace window "father of Java" James Gosling. Oak's name is not used for the release version of Java as a software has been registered with the trademark, thus retrieved the name of his successor to "Java". The name is derived from pure ground coffee directly from the seeds (black coffee) Gosling's favorite.
