Java for World Wide Web

Java was developed in the early 1990s, at Sun Microsystems Labs, by team led by James Gosling. Java has two lives one as a stand-alone computer language for general-purpose programming and the other as a supporting language for internet programming.

Applications programs are stand alone programs that can run on the computer. Java applets are programs that run from a web browser and make the web responsive and interactive.
Java was meant to be used in distributed environment such as internet. Since, both web and Java share the same philosophy, Java could be easily incorporated into the web system.

Before, Java the World Wide Web was limited to the display of still images and tests. However, the incorporation of Java into Web pages has made it capable of supporting animation, graphics, games and a wide range of special effects.

Java also can be found in many places including: web servers, relational databases, mainframe computers, telephones, orbiting telescopes, smartcards.
