Think of a good programming language and the name that pops into your mind is simply JAVA. Java the best programming language of the world created by James Gosling and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun microsystems.
It was the first programming language that was independent of the platform it worked on. Using a virtual platform called JVM(Java Virtual Platfrom) Java has made itself platform independent while JVM is platform dependent. Users of java have enjoyed this wonderful programming language for years ever since 1995 and today they are going to enjoy Java 1.7SE or java 7.
