Well first of all i wanted to know stuffs about JAVA , and here goes my first quest about JAVA.......

Java coffee is a coffee produced on the island of Java. (Hmm but iam not gonna talk about this.... )

Java is an object-oriented programming language developed primarily by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems.

The language, initially called Oak (named after the oak trees outside Gosling's office), was intended to replace C++, although the feature set better resembles that of Objective C. Java should not be confused with JavaScript, which shares only the name and a similar C-like syntax. Sun Microsystems currently maintains and updates Java regularly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)

(Hmm Sun Microsystems is one of the big fishes which iam targetting on...)


A computer language that can be read by many different computer platforms without the need for programmers to laboriously port the program to each platform. Java programs are automatically downloaded and executed on the client side by the web browser.

Small Java applications are called Java applets and can be downloaded from a Web server and run on your computer by a Java-compatible Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.


Common Java applets used on Web pages include animation, calculators, and counters. JavaScript A scripting language developed by Netscape that interacts with HTML source code, allowing for interactive Web sites. JavaScript is used for things such as "rollover buttons" (graphics that change color when you run your mouse over them), rotating banners, MIDI jukeboxes, pop-up windows, etc. JPEG (or JPG) Joint Photographic Experts Group: a type of image

A programming language that is designed to be platform-independent. This is achieved by the use of "virtual machines" that allow Java programs to run on a particular operating system. One of the common uses of Java is to create Applets that run inside a web page.
