History MediaNotes / Java

Note that Java, the programming language, is different from Java, the platform, which is discussed in greater detail in the UsefulNotes/JavaSoftwarePlatform page.

Java is an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperative_programming Imperative]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming Object-Oriented]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class-based_programming Class-Based]] UsefulNotes/ProgrammingLanguage.

It was created in 1991 and lead by Sun Microsystems Employee, James Gosling. Its design philosophy was greatly influenced by [[UsefulNotes/TheCLanguage C]] and C++ due to its syntax being so familiar with programmers. Sun released the first public implementation in 1996, and promised that Java could run '''anywhere''' without having to change any code. Soon, major browsers added the ability to run small Java applets. Java began to grow in popularity. Between 2009-2010, Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems.

Not to be confused with [[UsefulNotes/JavaScript [=JavaScript=]]].

This program will output the numbers 0 thru 9 in the console. Java uses a [[UsefulNotes/TheCLanguage C-like]] For Loop.
