Let's go through the history of Java

Chapter 1: The Beginning

1991: The Green Project
It all began in 1991 at Sun Microsystems. A small team of engineers led by James Gosling,
Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton embarked on a secret project known as the "Green Project".
Their mission was to develop technology for the burgeoning digital consumer devices market,
such as interactive television. The team aimed to create a language that could be portable
and adaptable to various devices.

1992: The Birth of Oak
The team developed a new programming language called Oak, named after an oak tree that
stood outside Gosling's office. Oak was designed to be simple, robust, and platform-independent,
making it ideal for use in consumer electronic devices.

Chapter 2: Pivot to the Internet

1993: A Change in Direction
The market for interactive television and other consumer devices wasn't growing as expected.
The team decided to pivot and focus on the rapidly emerging World Wide Web. They saw the potential
for a language that could run on any device, providing interactive content for the internet.

Chapter 3: Java Emerges

1994: Oak Becomes Java
As the team adapted Oak for web applications, they encountered trademark issues with the name "Oak".
After a brainstorming session over coffee, the language was renamed "Java", inspired by Java coffee from Indonesia. The name symbolized energy, innovation, and the dynamism of the new internet age.

1995: The Big Launch
In 1995, Java 1.0 was officially released. It promised "Write Once, Run Anywhere" (WORA), allowing developers to write code that could run on any device with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This revolutionary concept caught the attention of the tech world.
Java gained significant traction when Netscape Navigator, the leading web browser at the time, announced support for Java applets. This integration allowed dynamic and interactive content to be embedded in web pages, making the web experience more engaging.

Chapter 4: Rapid Expansion

1996: Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.0
Sun Microsystems released the first Java Development Kit (JDK 1.0), which included the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and essential tools for developers. This release marked the beginning of Java's journey as a powerful and versatile programming language.
