What is Java?

Some of you may curious why Java is the most famous in Indonesia, becaue many of the best known events in Indonesian history took place on Java. It was the centre of powerful Hindu-Buddhist empires, the Islamic sultanates, and the core of the colonial Dutch East Indies. Java was also the center of the Indonesian struggle for independence during the 1930s and 1940s.

What I am talking today is not that Java, but as a programming language. Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.

What is Java?

Java was developed in the early 1990s by James Gosling as an object-oriented programming language. Over the years, the language has been the foundation of millions of applications across many platforms, such as Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, Android-based handheld devices, Embedded Systems, and corporate solutions.

Java was originally designed for interactive television, but it was too advanced technology for the digital cable television industry at the time. The history of Java starts with the Green Team. Java team members (also known as Green Team), initiated this project to develop a language for digital devices such as set-top boxes, televisions, etc. However, it was best suited for internet programming. Later, Java technology was incorporated by Netscape.

Now Java is a popular programming language. The principles for creating Java programming were "Simple, Robust, Portable, Platform-independent, Secured, High Performance, Multithreaded, Architecture Neutral, Object-Oriented, Interpreted, and Dynamic". Java was developed by James Gosling, who is known as the father of Java, in 1995. James Gosling and his team members started the project in the early '90s.

Currently, Java is used in internet programming, mobile devices, games, e-business solutions, etc. Following are given significant points that describe the history of Java. Especially in Korea, there are more than 50% of software engineers are based in Java.
