History of Java

James Gosling initiated Java language project in June 1991 for use in one of his many set-top box projects. The language, initially called ‘Oak’ after an oak tree that stood outside Gosling's office, also went by the name ‘Green’ and ended up later being renamed as Java, from a list of random words.


Sun released the first public implementation as Java 1.0 in 1995. It promised Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA), providing no-cost run-times on popular platforms.
On 13 November, 2006, Sun released much of Java as free and open source software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

On 8 May, 2007, Sun finished the process, making all of Java's core code free and open-source, aside from a small portion of code to which Sun did not hold the copyright.



Popular Java Editors


To write your Java programs, you will need a text editor. There are even more sophisticated IDEs available in the market. But for now, you can consider one of the following −
◆  Notepad − On Windows machine, you can use any simple text editor like Notepad (Recommended for this tutorial), TextPad.
◆ Netbeans − A Java IDE that is open-source and free which can be downloaded from https://www.netbeans.org/index.html.
◆  Eclipse − A Java IDE developed by the eclipse open-source community and can be downloaded from https://www.eclipse.org/.
Byte code
Programming code that, once compiled, is run through a virtual machine instead of the computes processor. Bytecode is the compiled format for Java programs. Once a Java program has been converted to bytecode, it can be transferred across a network and executed by JavaVirtual Machine (JVM).

  Arduino Tutorial Program Structure TECH KNOWLEDGE MASTER, Program Structure I n this chapter, we will study in depth, the Arduino program structure and we will learn more new terminologies used in the Arduino world. The Arduino software is open-source. The source code for the Java environment is released under the GPL and the C/C++ microcontroller libraries are under the LGPL. Sketch  − The first new terminology is the Arduino program called “ sketch ”. Structure Arduino programs can be divided in three main parts:  Structure, Values (variables and constants), and  Functions . In this tutorial, we will learn about the Arduino software program, step by step, and how we can write the program without any syntax or compilation error. Let us start with the  Structure . Software structure consist of two main functions − ◆ Setup( ) function ◆ Loop( ) function Void setup ( ) { } PURPOSE   −  The   setup()   function is called when a sketch starts. Use it to initialize the variables, pin mod

Java Tutorial About JAVA TECH KNOWLEDGE MASTER, Java Tutorial Java is a high-level programming language originally developed by Sun Microsystems and released in 1995. Java runs on a variety of platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX. This tutorial gives a complete understanding of Java. Java programming language was originally developed by Sun Micro systems which was initiated by James Gosling and released in 1995 as core component of Sun Micro systems' Java platform (Java 1.0 [J2SE]). The latest release of the Java Standard Edition is Java SE 8. With the advancement of Java and its widespread popularity, multiple configurations were built to suit various types of platforms. For example: J2EE for Enterprise Applications, J2ME for Mobile Applications. The new J2 versions were renamed as Java SE, Java EE, and Java ME respectively.  Java is − ◆ bject Oriented  − In Java, everything is an Object. Java can be easily extended since it is based

Python chapter 1 Hello, World TECH KNOWLEDGE MASTER, What you should know You should know how to edit programs in a text editor or IDLE, save the file and run the file once the files have been saved to your disk. Printing Programming tutorials since the beginning of time have started with a little program called "Hello, World! The syntax changed in Python 3.0. If you are using Python 3.0, you should be reading  Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python 3  instead. So here is the Python 2.6 example: print "Hello, World!" If you are using the command line to run programs then type it in with a text editor, save it as  hello.py  and run it with  python hello.py Otherwise go into IDLE, create a new window, and create the program as in section  Creating and Running Programs . When this program is run here's what it prints: Hello, World! Now I'm not going to tell you this every time, but when I show you a program I recommend that you type it in
