Oak was a programming language created by James Gosling in 1991, initially for Sun Microsystems' set-top box project. The language later evolved to become Java. The name ''Oak'' was used by Gosling after an oak tree that stood outside his office. ==History== In 1991, Sun Microsystems was attempting to develop a new technology for programming next generation smart appliances, which Sun expected to be a major new opportunity. The team originally considered using C++, but rejected the idea for several reasons (see Java history). Initially, Gosling attempted to modify and extend C++ but soon abandoned that in favor of creating a new platform called ''Green'' and an entirely new language, which he called Oak, after the tree that stood just outside his office. By the summer of 1992, they were able to demonstrate portions of the new platform including the Green OS, the Oak language, the libraries, and the hardware. Their first attempt, demonstrated on September 3, 1992, focused on building a PDA device named ''Star7'' which had a graphical interface and a smart agent called "Duke" to assist the user. Oak was renamed ''Java'' in 1994 after a trademark search revealed that ''Oak'' was used by Oak Technology. Java 1.0 was finally shipped in 1996. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oak (programming language)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
