History of Java

In 1991 the microsystem company offered a project to James Gosling, Mike

Sheridan and Patrick Naughton to create a Smart-appliace platform that is like
making cable television. And they agreed.

But the microsystem requires that the manufacture must use API C ++ and C
which are owned by Sun Microsystem, and James Gosling and his friends reject
these requirements for complicated reasons.

In the end James Gosling and his friends offered a new programming language
to Sun Microsystems and Sun Microsystem approved it.

In 1992 James Gosling and his friends succeeded in creating a new

programming language that had not been named, with the new programming
language they succeeded in creating a Website, Set Top Television Boxes and
Browsers.
In 1994 they wanted the language they created to be used by many
people, but they were confused about the name that was right for
the language.

After long thinking about the name for the language, in the end
when they were discussing at a café there was someone who was
drinking coffee from the island of Java (Indonesia), one of them
said "how is our language given the name Java"? they agreed. With

Java type
 Java is divided into 4 types
 Java EE (Enterprise Edition)
 Java SE (Standard Edition)
 Java ME (Micro Edition)
 Java for Mobile
 Java TV
 Java Embedded
 Java Card

So if we can use the java programming language then we can program all types of
technology such as robots, desktops, servers, mobile and chips.
 Characteristics of the
Java programming language

1. Simple 6. Secure
2. Object Oriented 7. Neutral Architecture
3. Distributed (Distributed) 8. Portable
9. Performance
4. Interpreted
10. Multithreaded
5. Robust 11. Dynamic
Advantages of Java
There are several advantages that Java has compared to other programming languages,
namely:
 Multiplatform
The main advantage of Java is that it can run on multiple computer platforms /
operating systems, according to the principle of writing once, run anywhere.
 OOP (Object Oriented Programming)
OOP means that all aspects contained in Java are objects . Java is a pure object-based
programming language. All data types are derived from a base class called Object.
 Complete Class Library
Java is famous for its complete library (a collection of program programs included in java
programming) which makes it very easy to use by programmers to build their
applications.
Weaknesses of Java
 Write once, fix anywhere - There are still some things that are not compatible
between platforms one with another platform. For J2SE , for example SWT-AWT bridge which
until now does not work on Mac OS X .

 Easy to decompile - Decompilation is the process of reversing from code to source code. This is
possible because code is Java bytecode which stores many high-level language attributes, such
as class names, methods, and data types.

 Large memory usage - Memory usage for Java-based programs is far greater than previous
generation high-level languages ​such as C / C ++ and Pascal (more
specifically, Delphi and Object Pascal ).

 Compile process - Java programs must be compiled before running, different from Python
which does not need to compile.
