Introduction to java Programming

Java is one of the programming language or technology used for developing distributed applications by making use of client/server architecture.Java language developed at Sun Microsystems in the year 1990 under the guidance of James Goshling and others

Originally Sun Microsystems is one of the academic
university,developed the rules for Java and those rules are programmatically implemented as developed by JAVASOFT INC USA. JAVASOFT is one of the divisions of Sun Microsystems.

Whatever the software developed in the year 1990,Sun Microsyatem has released on the name of ‘OAK’ , which is originally name of Java ,scientifically ‘OAK’ is one of the tree name.The OAK has taken 18 months to develop.

The software OAK is able to fulfil few requirements of the industry and unable to fulfil some other requirements of the industry.

The software OAK revised at Sun Microsystems under the guidance of james goshlingand released to the industry on the name of java in the year 1995 ,scientifically Java is one of the coffee Seed name.

The software Java is available in the industry in following three categories:

J2SE Java 2 Standard Edition

J2EE  Java 2 Enterprise Edition

J2ME Java 2 Mobile Edition

Application development with Java

There are two types of applications in use 

Standalone Applications:

Any Software which runs in the context of local disk and whose results are not sharable are called standalone applications.

Distributed Applications:

Distributed Applications are those which runs in context of browser .

For Example: www,google.com

Two core companies that came forward for distribured applications are Java and .net which are the products of Sun Microsystems and Microsoft respectively.

Distributed applications are those which runs in context of browser or world wide web and whose results are sharable across the globe.

In real world all the websites are distributed applications.

According to the industry standards to develop distributed applications we follow a well known architecture called as Client/Server architecture.
