Java
- Java is used in certain iTV
applications. In 1990 a few geniuses at SUN
MICROSYSTEMS
went to work in developing a programming language that could control
different consumer
appliances as the major computer languages of the day was not
suitable
for that. They were successful. The first Java
program they
developed
was called "HotJava." The first applications of Java were in
handheld
PCs and earlier TV set-top
boxes.
Java is a cross platform language that processes on the client side (client browser.) In many ways it's a more efficient programming language. It's been propused that it can run in anything that has a processor including microwave ovens, cars and old slow computers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java Embedded Java |
