Java was developed by James Gosling at Sun
Microsystems in 1991.
His Original Aim was to develop a low-cost, Hardware
Independent Language based on C++.
Due to technical reasons that idea was dropped.
A new programming language called Oak was
developed based on C++.
The language oak was developed by removing
undesirable features of C++.
By 1994 the World Wide Web Emerged and Oak
was Renamed Java.
