JAVA Web Programming
Established in the early 1990's, Java was largely developed in order to provide operators a platform that could be easily ported to all types of devices. Unlike its' predessors, which included C++, this system was developed to be a less complicated and confusing programming language. The language was created by James Gosling and a group of his colleagues
at Sun Microsystems. Their platform was an embedded platform and had limited resources, but they set out to design a new language combining the best of Mesa and C. The language was initially called Oak after a set of oak trees outside of Gosling's office, but was later changed after the creators discovered that the name Oak was already trademarked by another company. The name Java was coined at a local coffee shop and it is not clear whether the name is an acronym or not. Most likely, it is not, however some accounts claim that it stands for the names of James Gosling, Arthur Van Hoff, and Andy Bechtolsheim who made up the team responsibe for the language. Others, that it is an acronym for Just Another Vague Acronym.
Java is an object oriented programming language. Overall, there are four primary goals for this particular language. They include:
It should allow the same program to be executed on multiple computer platforms.
It should contain built in support for using computer networking.
It should be designed to execute code from remote sources securely.
It should be easy to use and borrow the good parts of other languages.
Java is primarily used by many different web developers and by the scientific community especially NASA and Web Interface for Telescience (WITS) for tasks such as back end Web Processing, web site animation, and multi platform hosted web initiative.
There are many advantages to using the Java Programming Language. They include:
Portability This system has the ability to...
