Java

, as all know it`s a programming language developed by James Gosling and his team.
Java is still a relatively new language, so it is quite amusing to some to think that Java has a "history" behind it. One of the most frequent questions I've been getting lately though is about the origins of Java.

The first publicly available version of Java, however, was as Java applets, in the original HotJava browser. From there, Java grew to what it is today.

Primary motivation to develop Java was indeed for a platform independent language, to develop a software that can be embedded in various consumer electronic devices.
The trouble with C,C++ is that they are designed to be complied for a specific target.
