In order to compete with Microsoft and not let windows 95 be the only thing that is, WilliamsX Labs released the java language on April 2nd, April Fool's Day, and at the same time, the java platform was also launched!

The Java platform consists of a Java virtual machine and a Java application programming interface. Java applications can run as long as a Java platform is installed on a hardware or operating system platform. At present, WilliamsX Labs has launched three java platform systems: the first is the standard version of javaSE, the second is the standard version of JavaEE, and the third is the miniature version of JavaME.

javaSE allows the development and deployment of Java applications for use in desktop, server, embedded and real-time environments, primarily designed for personal computers!

JavaEE Enterprise Edition helps develop and deploy portable, robust, scalable, and secure server-side Java applications, providing web services, component models, management, and communication APIs that can be used to implement an enterprise-grade service-oriented architecture, primarily designed for workstations and servers!

The micro version of JavaME provides a robust and flexible environment for applications running on mobile devices and embedded devices such as mobile phones, TV set-top boxes, and printers, which will be used by Android in the future.

With the Java platform, you have to have programming development tools, right?

WilliamsX Labs has developed a development tool called "Eclipse", which is available for free download.

Although Java is open source, open source does not mean that it is free. Truly free is called "free software". Anything labeled as "free software" is not only open source. And it can be used casually, and there will be absolutely no infringement.

There is still a big difference between "open source software" and "free software......

So. WilliamsX Labs owns java and can basically make money in the following three ways.

First, you can make money through Java companion software.

Second, you can make money through technical support.

Third, you can make money through licenses. Ordinary users don't need money to learn and use Java, but if companies want to use Java to develop commercial software, they have to buy a special license from Sun, otherwise it is infringement. In the past, Microsoft developed a Java compilation platform for sale without the consent of Sun. And it's dedicated to Windows. As a result, Sun sued Microsoft, and in April 2004, Microsoft paid Sun $1.95 billion to settle Sun's allegations that Microsoft had violated the Java language license. At that time, Netscape, IBM and many others had already purchased licenses from Sun.

Java brought glory to Sun, attracting worldwide attention, and thus driving sales of Sun's servers and operating systems, before the dot-com bubble. The market capitalization has skyrocketed to more than $200 billion!

Due to the platform-agnostic nature of Java, it can run on any hardware or operating system. As a result, java can completely bypass Microsoft's cash cow: the Windows operating system, and this is the case for Microsoft Corporation. But it was a huge shock. Based on the Windows system platform, Microsoft has created a profit model and integration environment that belongs to Microsoft, and it depends on this for its food. If a third-party developer installs the Java platform on a Windows system. If you develop on the Java platform, do you have to pay Microsoft in the future?!

Meantime. It is conceivable that the developed Java software can run on any hardware installed with the Java platform. As long as you develop software once, but you can make money on multiple platforms, third-party software vendors are naturally willing to develop Java software! If there is a Java operating system at this time, it will undoubtedly pose a huge challenge to Microsoft's operating system!

In the past, Sun's Solaris operating system was the only one that could challenge the Windows system. Unfortunately, the Internet bubble came too quickly, and Sun's hardware could not be sold overnight, and then there was a huge loss, and the Solaris operating system did not succeed in the end!

WilliamsX Labs' java press conference was a huge sensation in the industry!

Microsoft had just released Windows 95, and WilliamsX Labs immediately released Java, which was tantamount to working against Microsoft. At this moment, many companies have been defeated by Windows 95, and the operating system has lost market share and software market share. And the hardware companies also had to succumb to Microsoft, specifically cooperate with them for production, and required to fit the Windows 95 system and develop the performance of the system to the maximum!

At this time, the emergence of Java gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

Java's ignorance of platform attributes, coupled with Java's absorption of the advantages of C++, is simply a very perfect language with great potential!

Since you can't mix it on the Windows system, you can only go to the Java platform to mix!

Henry's companies, including 360 Netscape, Isearch, icq and many other Internet companies, took the lead in issuing statements expressing their support for Java, and Noah's Ark, Silicon Map, and Cray Supercomputer Company also subsequently expressed Java.

A large group of companies came out to support Java, which is full of confidence, and it is difficult not to be popular!

It didn't take long for IBM, Oracle and many other companies to also express their support for Java.

Java features obviously have great potential for development, without Java support, how can the company develop?

Subsequently, Sun also issued a statement saying that it would support Java, and Henry couldn't help laughing when he saw it, come on, come on, hurry up and buy a Java license, or I'll sue you......

In order to promote Java, there is a promotion on the Internet, newspapers, and television.

"The most powerful programming language in history - Java. ”

"Regardless of any hardware or operating system, you can run java programs!"

"Easy to learn, easy to learn!"

"If you want to make money, learn Java. ”

“……”

Within a week, the number of downloads of the java platform and Eclipse development tools exceeded 3 million, countless programmers were interested in java, countless companies threw themselves into java, and schools began to encourage students to learn java language.

For a while, Java was very popular. People are full of confidence in the java language, many experts and professors said that Java has the characteristics of simple, object-oriented, stable, platform-agnostic, interpreted, multi-threaded, dynamic, etc., is a necessary tool for IT people, and the java language will become the most popular language!

Once Java became popular, it built a large and well-established ecosystem. At that time, the position of Microsoft's system will be in jeopardy!

Henry asked WilliamsX Labs to merge the java division into Apple in order to strengthen Apple's strength and reputation. The more popular Java is, the more famous Apple will be, and the operating system it will launch will win the recognition of Java developers around the world!

Although the Mac-OS-X operating system is closed, it will have java-api. API refers to Application Programming Interface, which allows Java developers to develop Java software.

It took a few days to complete the merger plan, and then Apple immediately held a press conference to announce that Apple had completed the acquisition of the java division of WilliamsX Labs. As soon as this news came out, it once again caused a huge sensation in the industry!

Senior experts in the industry have said that Apple has gained Java, like a tiger with wings, and the development potential is endless!

Senior Wall Street analysts believe that if Apple goes public, its market value is likely to reach hundreds of billions of dollars, or even more. At present, the vast majority of investors are optimistic about Apple's future development prospects!

"Apple has mastered Java, and the rise is unstoppable!"

"Apple has a trump card in its hand!!"

“……”

Apple has joined the java department, which has greatly accelerated the development progress of the "Mac-OS-X" system, and at the same time, has made the system more perfect, and has been supported by more third-party software companies!

Of course, Apple's fame has increased because of Java revenue!

But this time, WilliamsX Labs has made its debut, and the world has begun to pay attention to it!!
