LOGO OF JAVA

Dear who ever is reading this are u ready to know the secret history behind the LOGO OF JAVA

LOGO OF JAVA

Thinking whats there behind this CUP OF COFFEE ?

For a while let's go to 1990's

There is a company called Sun Microsystems. most of the consumer electronics like cable set-top boxes, VCR's, toasters and also for personal digital assistants (PDAs)were produced here
 Everything is going good and the problem arises at the programming part that should be written for the products 

for example let us take a VCR player. apart from the hardware,code should be written for the player to play,stop,forward,backward 
to write that particular program the company hire's programmers and payed them a lot 

since at that time all the programming languages are platform independent. The programmers code is only suitable to that particular set of devices. if the programmers writes code for SONY it only works for that and the same program doesn't work on other devices like INTEL,PHILIPS 

Its really tough task for the company to hire programmer every time and to pay them with heavy amounts

At that time James Gosling of Sun Microsystems started a secret project to develop a platform dependent language. so that it reduces time and cost 

In 1990 he started a secret project with his four friends called GREEN TEAM. Whose aim was to create a programming tool that could render obsolete the C and C++ programming languages.
Finally in 1991 they created a new programming language with the basis of OOPS concept
and named it as 'OAK' after the tree that stood outside his office.

From then they started to advertise their language by giving seminars to professors and students in different colleges
 According to them the advantages of the programming language are :-

•   be simple and gather tested fundamentals and features from the earlier languages in it,
•   be platform independent and may written for every platform once (giving birth to the WORA idiom),
•  be able to manipulate network programming out-of-the-box,
•   be embeddable in web browsers, and 
•   have the ability for a single program to multi-task and do multiple things at the same time.

Parallel to this the "WorldWideWeb" introduced in the same time and to access internet a Web brower is requried and at that time Netscape Navigator is the only web browser.

To show the advantages of this new programming language the green team asked the Netscape corporation to pulgin their software. But they rejected the proposal

Since they have no other option they wrote a code for a web browser and named it as APPLET and showed the world how usefull their OAK Language is

in 1994 case was filed that OAK name's rights were under someother company and they have to change the name at that time they were thinking what name should be kept .
the green team are sitting in a cafe and drinking java coffee all of a sudden they decided to name it as 'JAVA' and logo as 'CUP OF COFFEE'
