Activity 1

1.) Based on what we have Discuss, what does netbeans have the upper hand compared to other
IDE’s that other Java’s IDE.

In terms of code development and Java web development, NetBeans is a In terms of ease of use,
NetBeans is an excellent tool. Other tools can easily be integrated onto it, which is For automated
testing, NetBeans is a great tool for creating test scripts.

2.) Research on the complete history of Java from when it was created by Si Micro systems until
now that became oracle what are its Up’s and Down’s.

James Gosling created Java, an Object-Oriented programming language, in the early 1990s. This
project was started by the team to create a language for digital devices such as set-top boxes,
televisions, and so on. Initially, C++ was proposed for use in the project, but it was rejected for a
variety of reasons for example, C++ required more memory. Gosling attempted to modify and
enhance C++, but eventually abandoned it in favor of creating a new stage called Green. Greentalk
was the name given to James Gosling’s project by his team, and the file extension was .gt. It later
became known as OAK. Gosling chose the name Oak after an oak tree that remained outside his
office. Oak is also a symbol of unity and has been designated as a national tree by a number of
countries, including the United States, France, Germany, Romania, and others. However, because it
was already a trademark of Oak Technologies, they had to rename it to JAVA. Gosling and his team
held a brainstorming session and came up with numerous names, including JAVA, DNA, SILK, RUBY,
and others. Because of its uniqueness, the name Java was chosen after much debate. The term Java
comes from a type of espresso bean called Java. While drinking coffee near his office, Gosling came
up with the name. Java was developed using ideas such as Robust, Portable, Platform Independent,
High Performance, Multithreading, and was named one of TIME Magazine’s Ten Best Products of
1995. Java is being utilized in internet programming, mobile devices, games, and e-business
solutions, among other things. Since JDK 1.0, there have been a few changes to the Java language, as
well as several additions of classes and packages to the standard library. In addition to language
changes, the Java Class Library has undergone significant changes over the years, growing from a
few hundred classes in JDK 1.0 to over three thousand in J2SE 5.

3.) What are you looking forward to learn Java?

Because Java can be used to develop applications for the web, mobile, desktop, etc. on a variety of
platforms, it is Aside from that, Java has a number of features such as dynamic coding and multiple
security features as well as platform independent characteristics, network-centric design, and so on,
So in the near future, I’ll be knowledgeable and easy with it comes to java if it need on my future job
