40 years ago, a cold winter, in a village in Canada, the first boy in the Gosling home wowered. The family gave him a name, called James. No one thought, after grew up, he became a genius that changed the computer language.
James Gosling likes technology from small, love drums. At the age of 12, he made an electronic game console with the part of the scrapped telephone and the TV. The problem of Kangbai (combined harvester) nearby nearby, often finds him repair. At the age of 14, the secondary school organized to visit nearby universities, and he remembered the door lock password of the university computing center, and started sneaking into the computing center, learning computer programming. One year later, the university's astronomical system recruited him as a temporary programmer, writing computer programs to analyze satellite astronomical data.
In the early 1980s, James Gosling won the Ph.D. to IBM, design IBM first generation workstation. At that time, IBM's leadership did not value workstation projects. In addition to disappointment, James Gosling hopped to Sun. He spent five years of Kung Fog Leading and OS2 a similar Sun news window system, although the technical community is well received, it has not become popular. At that time, he also had the first text editor COSMACS for Emacs implemented with C.
In today's highly competitive software development era, software designers have been trying to predict the development trend of future software or technology. In 1990, Sun has set up a software design team, which except James Gosling, and Patrick Naughton and Mike Sheridan et al., The project they work is called "green plan". They believe that a trend in computer technology is the communication between digital home appliances. James is responsible for creating a language that enables network interaction to communicate with the communication between the device and the user. As a large amount of time and money put into the "green plan", they created a language. This language is called "Oak", which has seen an oak tree outside the window when you want to name the gosling. But later was changed to "Java". The remote remote control of the Sun workstation began on September 3, 1992.
At the end of 1994, James Gosling participated in the "Technical, Education and Design Conference" held in Silicon Valley. He reported that the mood tried to demonstrate the function of Java. He clicked on a stationary molecular structure icon on the web, a command sent to a few hundred miles away from the Internet, downloaded a Java applet and started on the local workstation. In a few seconds, the originally stationary webpage, a molecular image turned up in a three-dimensional animation.
"Wow!" James Gosling heard the admire of the audience.
Soon, Silicon Valley's largest newspaper "San Ji Xixin reported" published a special article in the first version, "Why Sun thinks a cup of hot coffee can make you mentally." From the article, the phone responsible for the Java market personnel is not stopped. Soon, the major newspapers and magazines of the United States published Java reports.
Java is famous!
In 2000, Java has become the most popular computer language in the world. The green group was originally designed to support digital home, supporting a variety of home appliances. They did not expect that Java supported computing models, actually the internet model.
For the huge success of Java language, no one is more humble than James Gosling: "I never thought that Java technology would be so fire. When my boss asked me how many times it would be downloaded, I said 10,000 times. And he thinks me Too optimistic. "
James Gosling is now the vice president and partner of Sun.
