The Java language

Initially, James Gosling's Java language was called Oak; the lawyers pointed out that "oak" had already been recorded by others, so something else was chosen to give the language a name.

The search method went from finding a suitable name for the language to one that wasn't; however time has disproved the method given Java's success.

After some time, names suggested and then withdrawn, legend has it that the name Java was found in a coffee break in front of a hot and steaming cup of coffee from which the Java logo also derives.

The Java language

Introduction to the Java language

The goal of the Java language has always been to create applications that adapt to various electronic devices; bypassing all the typical limitations of languages such as C and C ++ but maintaining the characteristics. 

This choice also proved successful; because many programmers later started using the Java language, aided by their familiarity with their C background. 

Networking

A full range of ready-to-use standard networking libraries that weren't included in other languages gave the language a boost on the internet. 

Other languages had to remedy this by integrating third-party libraries and not always with little difficulty and this made Java more attractive to programmers.

Netscape in 1993 was the first browser to integrate into the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) hosting the first Applets "small applications written in Java language for the client side" when JavaScript very popular today was not even under development.

Is the Java language interpreted or compiled ?

Java is an OOP programming language acronym for "object oriented programming"; the code is interpreted but not compiled and this makes the portability of the software useful "write once run anywhere". 

The source code written in Java language is processed by the compiler class; although the name seems to refer to the compilation, it does not perform this task! 

The Java code is not translated into binary but into intermediate code: the bytecode; the latter is interpreted on the fly by the java virtual machine interacting with the operating system and the underlying hardware.
