v2 Chapter 332: java is coming

In order to fight against Microsoft and not let Windows 95 be exclusively beautiful, WilliamsX Lab released the Java language on April 2nd, April Fools' Day, and at the same time, it also launched the Java platform!

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

javaSE allows the development and deployment of Java applications used in desktops, servers, embedded environments and real-time environments, and is mainly designed for personal computers!

The JavaEE Enterprise Edition helps develop and deploy portable, robust, scalable and secure server-side Java applications, provides Web services, component models, management and communication APIs, and can be used to implement an enterprise-level service-oriented architecture, mainly for 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). JavaME will be used in Android systems in the future.

With the java platform, there must be programming development tools, right?

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

Although java is open source, open source does not mean free. What is truly free is called "free software", but if there is "free software", not only the software is open source, but it can also be used casually, and there will be absolutely no infringements.

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

Well, the WilliamsX Lab owns Java and can basically make money through the following three methods.

First, you can make money through java supporting 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 a company wants to use Java to develop commercial software, it must buy a special license from Sun, otherwise it is an infringement. Past life. Without the consent of Sun, Microsoft developed a Java compilation platform for sale on its own, and it was dedicated to Windows. As a result, Sun sued Microsoft in April 2004. Microsoft paid $1.95 billion to Sun to resolve Sun's allegations that Microsoft violated the Java language license agreement. At that time, Netscape, IBM and many others had already purchased licenses from Sun.

Java brought glory to Sun and attracted the attention of the world, which also drove the sales of Sun's servers and operating systems. Before the Internet bubble, the market value soared to more than 200 billion US dollars!

Because Java has the characteristics of ignoring the platform, it can run on any hardware and operating system. Therefore, Java can completely bypass Microsoft's cash cow: Windows operating system, and this is for Microsoft. It was a huge shock. Based on the windows system platform, Microsoft has created a profit model and integrated environment belonging to Microsoft, and it relies on this to feed. If a third-party developer installs the java platform on the windows system and develops on the java platform, should he still pay Microsoft in the future? !

At the same time, the developed java software can run on any hardware that has a java platform installed, so it is conceivable that as long as you develop the software once, you can make money on multiple platforms, and third-party software vendors are naturally willing to develop java software! If a java operating system appears at this time. Then it will undoubtedly pose a huge challenge to Microsoft's operating system!

In the previous life, Sun's Solaris operating system was the only one that could challenge the existence of the windows system. Unfortunately, the Internet bubble came so fast that Sun’s hardware could not be sold overnight. Then came a huge loss, and the Solaris operating system finally failed to counterattack as a result!

After the java press conference of WilliamsX Lab, it caused a huge sensation in the industry!

Microsoft has just released windows95, and the WilliamsX laboratory immediately released Java, which is tantamount to opposing Microsoft. now. Many companies have been defeated by windows95, the operating system market share is lost, and the software market share is lost. Moreover, hardware companies have to succumb to Microsoft, specifically cooperate with them in production, request to fit the windows95 system, and maximize the performance of the system!

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

Java ignores the attributes of the platform, plus Java has absorbed the advantages of C++, it is simply a perfect language with huge potential!

Since you can't mix on the windows system, you can only go to the java platform to mix!

Companies under Henry's name, including 360 Netscape browser, Isearch search, icq and many other Internet companies first issued statements expressing support for java. Noah's Ark, Silicon Graphics, and Cray Supercomputers also expressed java subsequently.

A large group of companies have come out to support java. This is so emboldened, it is difficult not to be popular!

Before long, many companies such as IBM and Oracle also expressed their support for java.

The characteristics of java obviously have huge development potential. If java is not supported, how can the company develop?

Subsequently, the Sun company also issued a statement saying that it would support java. After Henry saw it, he couldn't help but laughed, come, come, hurry up and buy a java license, otherwise he will sue you...

In order to promote java, the Internet, newspapers, and TV have all carried out publicity.

"The strongest programming language in history-java."

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

"Easy to learn, easy to use!"

"If you want to make money, learn java."

"..."

Within a week, the downloads of the Java platform and Eclipse development tools both exceeded 3 million. Countless programmers were interested in Java. Countless companies devoted themselves to the embrace of Java. The school began to encourage students to learn the Java language.

For a time, java was extremely hot. People are full of confidence in the Java language. Many experts and professors said that Java is simple, object-oriented, stable, platform-independent, interpreted, multithreaded, and dynamic. It is an essential tool for IT professionals. The Java language will Become the most popular language!

Once Java became popular, a huge and complete ecosystem was established. At that time, the status of Microsoft's system will be in jeopardy!

Henry asked WilliamsX Labs to merge the Java department into Apple to enhance Apple's strength and reputation. The more popular java is, it will make Apple more famous, and the operating system it launches can win the recognition of java developers around the world!

Although the Mac-OS-X operating system is closed, java-api will remain. API refers to the application programming interface, giving an interface allows java developers to develop java software.

It took a few days to complete the merger and acquisition plan. Then, Apple immediately held a press conference to announce that Apple had completed the acquisition of the Java department of WilliamsX Labs. Once this news came out, it once again caused a huge sensation in the industry!

Senior experts in the industry have said that Apple's acquisition of java is just like a tiger, and its 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~lightnovelpub.net~ or even more. At present, most investors are optimistic about Apple's future development prospects!

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

"Apple holds a trump card in his hand!!!"

"..."

Apple has joined the java department, which has greatly accelerated the development progress of the "Mac-OS-X" system. At the same time, it has also made the system more perfect, and it has also obtained more third-party software companies. support!

Of course, Apple's reputation has greatly increased because of the benefits of java!

But this time, the WilliamsX laboratory showed its first edge, but it made the whole world pay attention to it! ! !

(PS: The second is more,,,, there is still a little time in the afternoon, continue to code words)

Henry then moved the entire java department to

(To be continued.)
