What is Java?
(Taken from "The Java Language Specification" book.)
"Java was originally called Oak, and designed for use in embedded consumer-electronic applications. After several years of experience with the language, it was retargeted to the Internet, renamed Java, and substantially revised.
Java is a general-purpose concurrent class-based object-oriented programming language, specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. Java allows application developers to write a program once and then be able to run it everywhere (i.e. on any operating system)"
