  1. James Gosling and Java The creator of Java.

  2. James Arthur Gosling • James Arthur Gosling(born May 19, 1955) is a Canadian computer scientist, best known as the father of the Java programming language. • Gosling received a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Calgary. In 1983, he earned a Ph.D in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University.

  3. About Java • Java is a computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" meaning that code that runs on one platform does not need to be recompiled to run on another.

  4. Java (software platform) • Java is a set of several computer software products and specifications from Sun Microsystems (Now known as Oracle Corporation), that together provide a system for developing application software and deploying it in a cross-platform computing environment, known as an SDK (Software Development Kit).

  5. More about James • Gosling is generally credited with having invented the Java programming language in 1994.He created the original design of Java and implemented the language's original compiler and virtual machine. He’s also Canadian. Some places he has worked at are Sun Microsystems, Oracle Corporation, Google, Liquid Robotics, TypesafeInc.

  6. Facts about Java • Java is one of the most popular programming languages in use, particularly for client-server web applications. • Java has over 9 million developers. • 89% of Desktops (or Computers) in the U.S. Run Java • 3 Billion Mobile Phones Run Java • 125 million TV’s run Java • James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton initiated the Java language project in June 1991. • A Fun fact about Patrick Naughton Is that he is now a high-profile sex offender.

  7. More About Java • Java is the foundation for virtually every type of networked application and is the global standard for developing and delivering embedded and mobile applications, games, web-based content, and flash games. Java enables you to efficiently develop, deploy and use exciting applications and services.

  8. Why is Java important? Today, with technology such a part of our daily lives, we take it for granted that we can be connected and access applications and content anywhere, anytime. Because of Java, digital devices are smarter, more functional, and way more entertaining. Today, Java is the invisible force behind many of the applications and devices that power our day to day lives. From mobile phones to handheld devices, console games and navigation systems to business solutions, Java is everywhere you go in this age.

  9. Honors/Awards James has won for his work • 2002: He was awarded The Economist Innovation Award. • 2007: He was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. The Order is Canada's second highest civilian honor. • 2013: He became a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.
