The project, initially called Oak, was originally designed for interactive television. When Oak was deemed too advanced for the digital cable technology available at the time, Gosling and his team shifted their focus to creating a programming language and renamed the project Java, after a type of...
Java and the JVM have some basic concepts baked into them from day one. As I discussed earlier, one of these is resource asymmetry. Another is a closed sandbox. This really made sense when Java was originally designed to run as a protected process in an applet and had no access to the ...
Java History: Java is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by Sun Microsystems of USA in 1991.Originally called Oak by James Gosling (one of the inventor of the language). Java was invented for the development of software for consumer electronic devices like TVs, ...
Bill Venners: I heard Java was originally envisioned for embedded devices. To what extent was Java designed with what would eventually come to be called Jini technology in mind? In other words, were you just thinking about embedded devices, or were you thinking about a Jini technology-like wor...

Unicode was originally designed as a fixed-width 16-bit character encoding. The primitive data type char in the Java programming language was intended to take advantage of this design by providing a simple data type that could hold any character. However, it turned out that the 65,536 ...
In 1991, when James Gosling of Sun Microsystems (later acquired by the Oracle Corporation) invented Java, the main purpose was to create a programming language compatible with every device or system in existence. Based on that idea, Sun Microsystem created the slogan "write once, run everywhere...
Originally created by NetBeans.com and called Forte, this IDE was so good that Sun bought the company, and Oracle now distributes NetBeans as a free, open source tool for Java developers. There is a plug-in API; and quite a few plug-ins available. You can download the free version ...
