JAVA PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

All applications that run on computers--whether word processing programs, Internet pages, games or any other application--use some type of programming instructions to tell the computer how the application should be processed. In the earliest days of computers, programmers had to rely on machine code--combinations of 0s and 1s--that eventually gave rise to assembly language and then higher-level languages such as COBOL and FORTRAN. The programming languages C and C++ evolved from these higher level languages as developers sought more powerful programming languages that were also relatively easy to use and deploy. This research examines the development and deployment of a recent programming language, Java, and its future potential.

Java was developed by a small group of professionals at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. At that time, C++ was the programming language in wide use at Sun, and it was considered a powerful programming language and entirely appropriate for the tasks that it had to perform. However, high-level languages such as C++ require compilers. These are programs that translate the high-level language useful for humans into lower-level instructions that can be understood by the computer. Although Sun Microsystems was a manufacturer of computer hardware, its developers were interested in developing a language that would not have to be recompiled in order to run on different hardware platform
