Abstract :
It´s hard to believe that Java has been around for just four short years (1996-2000). For several years, IT managers and system developers have been regarding Java with a watchful eye, waiting for the programming language to realize its much-vaunted potential. Today, with the explosion in e-commerce, Java is assuming an important role in front-end graphical user interfaces (GUIs), multitiered server applications, and mobile agents. Businesses are using Java in these applications because its platform independence, downloadability, and built-in security make it the implementation language of choice for online business applications. To better assess where Java fits into your organization´s business systems, it´s helpful to know how the language developed and where Java´s developers are taking it
