A Oak Tree has been in Gosling's Office so he named the language firstly Oak and secondly Green, later Java from a Java coffee. Sun Microsystems is an American company released the first version of java.

  

Java is general-purpose, class-based, object-oriented programming language. It was similar to C/C++ syntax style. Java has feature called "write once,run anywhere". Java can run on all platforms. It has specific environment to setup. Java applications are typically converted to "bytecode" on Java Virtual Machine. Once the program was written and sent through JVM, it will be converted into portable byte code. Java bytecode is similarly comparable to machine code. Java contains methods, thread, applet.

Suppose anyone can develop application through java applet. Java Applet is a very small application which looks like an user communicate-able.
