History and Evolution of Java Programming Language (A Language That Changed Computing)
History of Java Java began as an internal project within a company and was initially called the Green Project. When this project started, the team was not sure whether it would become successful. At that time, the name “Java” did not exist. The project was mainly focused on developing software for electronic products. The initial issue that led to the Green Project was the lack of a suitable programming language for electronic and embedded devices. In the early 1990s, electronic products were becoming programmable, but existing programming languages were too heavy, hardware-dependent, and required operating systems. Many electronic devices did not have operating systems, and software written for one device could not easily run on another. This created the need for a lightweight, portable, and secure programming language that could run programs independently of an operating system. The Green Project was created for electronic devices because many gadgets such as remote controls, automa...
