Java is platform and an object-oriented programming language originally developed by Sun Microsystem, Inc. Originally, it was created by James Gosling for use in consumer electronics. Because of the robustness and platform-independent nature of the language, Java soon moved beyond the consumer electronics industry and found a home on the World Wide Web. Java is a platform meaning it is a complete development environment.
