Just a Seed
" ! Java started out as a research project
" ! Research began in 1991 as the Green Project " ! Project was chartered to anticipate and plan for next wave of computing " ! Green Team determined consumer devices and computers would converge " ! Team focused on TV set-top boxes and interactive TV industries

Only a Sapling
" ! Research efforts birthed a new language, OAK
" ! Created by James Gosling - the father of Java " ! Language was created with 5 main goals:
" !It should be object oriented " !A single representation of a program could be executed on multiple operating systems " !It should fully support network programming " !It should execute code from remote sources securely " !It should be easy to use

" ! Oak was renamed Java in 1994

The Budding Tree

" ! Java was publicly released May 27, 1995
" ! As a product, it was targeted at Internet development " ! In general, it was marketed as the language to add dynamic features to the web, a.k.a. Applets " ! Had early support from companies like Netscape Communications

What is Java?

!!! 2003 - 2007 DevelopIntelligence LLC !!http://www.DevelopIntelligence.com

What is Java?
" ! Java is defined by two entities:
" ! A platform (Java Runtime Environment - JRE) " ! A language (Java Software Development Kit - SDK)

" ! Java address traditional concerns with other programming languages like
" ! Security " ! Reusability " ! Transportability (platform independence)

" ! Created and maintained by Sun Microsystems

! 2003 - 2007 DevelopIntelligence http://www.DevelopIntelligence.com

The Java Platform

" ! The Java platform provides
" ! The run-time environment " ! The necessary libraries (platform libraries)

" ! The Java platform is NOT platform independent

" ! Platforms exist for many Operating Systems " ! Such as: Windows, Linux, Unix, OS X, VMS

! 2003 - 2007 DevelopIntelligence http://www.DevelopIntelligence.com

Platform Editions
" ! Java has different platform editions
" ! Java Standard Edition (Java SE a.k.a J2SE) " ! Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE a.k.a J2EE) " ! Java Micro Edition (Java ME a.k.a J2ME)

" ! Platforms defined in terms of JVM and platform libraries " ! Each platform has its own set of libraries " ! All editions rely on a Java Runtime Environment and Java Virtual Machine

! 2003 - 2007 DevelopIntelligence http://www.DevelopIntelligence.com

Java SE
" ! Complete environment for application execution
" " " " " ! Stand-alone server applications ! Stand-alone client applications ! Stand-alone client-server applications ! Applets ! Web-start applications - rich applications deployed via Web

" ! Considered core to all editions

! 2003 - 2007 DevelopIntelligence http://www.DevelopIntelligence.com

Java EE
" ! Extension of Java SE " ! Uses Java SE run-time environment " ! Targeted at enterprise applications; applications that span all areas of an enterprise
" ! From customer to back-office " ! From web to legacy

" ! Enables distributed multi-tier solutions

! 2003 - 2007 DevelopIntelligence http://www.DevelopIntelligence.com

Java ME
" ! Targeted at consumer and embedded market; constrained devices " ! Two major categories:
" ! Connected Device Configuration (CDC) " ! Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC)

A Growing Forest
" ! First release in 1995 was public alpha " ! First formal release in January 23, 1996 " ! Since then, there have been 7 other major releases " ! Current version of Java is Java 6
