In November
1995, Sun Microsystems introduced a new programming language to the world-
Java. Until then the word “Java”
could only mean an island in Indonesia or a particular blend of coffee.
Though its initial
development began as early as 1991, it took some time for the final working version
to reach the market. The basic objective behind developing the language was to
create software that could be embedded in consumer electronic devices. Efforts
were taken to produce a portable, platform in dependable language, and the
result of this led to the birth of a new language. James Gosling
