Software developer James Gosling developed the Java programming language in 1995. Java allows developers to write software that can run on a totally different platform from the one it was created on. Java is an object-oriented and all-purpose language. It can be used to build small programs that are embedded in web pages. Java allows developers to use English written commands instead of numeric codes. Java is based on the powerful language c++. This makes it easy, versatile and efficient for programmers to use.
