Java is an object-oriented programming language. It is used for writing programs to develop web apps, Mobile apps, and desktop apps.
History:
James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton started the project of Java Language in June 1991. Java was originally designed for interactive television. At the beginning, Java was known as oak just after an oak tree had been placed outside Gosling’s office. After this, the project name was Green, and the final name of Java has been applied to date, from Java Coffee, a type of coffee from Indonesia Gosling designed Java with a C/C++ style syntax that system and application programmers would find familiar.
Sun Microsystems released the first public implementation as Java 1.0 in 1996.
