History of Java -

In the early 90s or can say 1991, a group of Engineers of Sun Microsystems James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton decided to develop a computer programming language for digital devices such as Television, Set-Top-Boxes, etc that could be used for the consumer. Because these devices don't have a lot of power or memory. 

The team of engineers of Sun Microsystems that initiated this project was called Green Team.

All the engineers that came from Sun Microsystems were UNIX background & they decided to build this new language on Object-Oriented C++ rather than Procedure Oriented C. That is why Java is called as Object-Oriented Programming Language.

Do You Know? Firstly, it was called "Greentalk" by James Gosling & His team, and the file extension of this was .gt.

After that James Gosling decided to name this language as "OAK" (Oak is a tree name) because of an Oak tree that was outside his window in his Sun Microsystems office.

The Green Team members got to know that there was an existing programming language called Oak so they renamed it by Java in 1995.

Finally, the first version of Java JDK was released in 1996.
