History of Java?

        Before starting to learn java, Let us plunge into it's history and

 see how the language orginated. In  1990, Sun Microsystems inc, has conceived 

a project to develop software for consumer electronic devices  that could be

 controlled by a remote. This project was called "Stealth Project"  but later it name was 

changed to Green project. In January of 1991, Bill joy, James gosling, Mike sheradin,

 Patrick Naughton,  and several others met in aspen, Colorado to discuss this project.

Mike sheradin was to focus on business  development, Patrick naughton was to begin work

 on  the graphics system : and James Gosling was to  identify the proper programming language

 for the project. Gosling thought  C and C++ could be used to  developed the project.

 But the problem he faced with them is that they were system dependent languages and hence

 could not be used on various processors, Which the electronic devices might use. so he started 

developing a new language was initiallly called oak. Since this name was registered 

by some other company, later it was changed to java.
