Java is a programming language widely used in coding web applications. Due to the fact that it has been a popular language preferred by developers for more than twenty years, there are millions of Java applications in use today.
Java is a programming language developed by James Gosling of Sun Microsystems and was released as a core component of Sun Microsystems in 1995. Although this language derives many syntaxes from C and C++, these derivatives contain a simpler object model and fewer low-level possibilities. Java applications are typical bytecode that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (Java Virtual Machine) without depending on the computer architecture.
The first version of Java, Java 1.0 (1995), was called Java Platform 1 and had small size and limited features in accordance with the design purpose. Later, the strength of the plane was observed, and major changes and additions were made to its design. Due to these major changes, the new plane developed was called Java Platform 2, but version number 2 was not made, it continued as 1.2. Java 5, released in the fall of 2004, was the version with the most improvements and changes after the previous versions 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4. Java SE 8 is the modern version of Java technology. On November 13, 2006, the Java plane became open-coded with the GPL license.
