Document Summary
Language was rst developed by james gosling at sun microsystems in 1991. He was designing a language called oak for green project . Green project envisaged the centralized control of many processor-based devices in home. Oak was designed to be a robust, ef cient language with maximum pro tability to different processors. Web pages had to do more than just display static text and graphics. But web pages are viewed on a wide variety of platforms, from mac"s to unix to ibm-pcs. So any page-embedded language would need to run on all platforms. Needed a robust, compact, and multiplatform language, so oak was dusted off and call it something racy, like java! In 1994, sun demonstrated the use of java in small bundles of code embedded in a web page called applets. Netscape browsers started supporting applets in 1995, starting java"s rise to fame. Sun programmers continued to develop a code base for the language, adding many libraries.
