control which is controlling all the electronic consumables so they contact
James Gosling and requested for the projects. Sun Microsystems started by group
of students out of them one person also Indian whose name Vinode Khosla.

Overview of Java
·
Java is one of the programming
language or technology used for developing web applications. Java language
developed at SUN Micro Systems in the year 1995 under the guidance of James
Gosling and there team. Originally SUN Micro Systems is one of the Academic
university (Standford University Network)
·
Whatever the software developed in
the year 1990, SUN Micro
Systems has released on the name of oak, which is original name of java
(scientifically oak is one of the tree name). The OAK has taken 18 months to
develop.
·
The oak is unable to fulfill all
requirements of the industry. So James Gosling again reviews this oak and released with the name
of java in the year 1995. Scientifically java is one of the coffee seed name.
Java divided into three categories, they are
- J2SE (Java 2 Standard Edition)
- J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition)
- J2ME (Java 2 Micro or Mobile Edition)
J2SE
J2SE is
used for developing client side applications.
J2EE
J2EE is
used for developing server side applications.
J2ME
J2ME is
used for developing mobile or wireless application by making use of a
predefined protocol called WAP (wireless Access / Application protocol).
