Sun Microsystems forms a team (“Green Team“) headed by James Gosling to develop a new programming language in 1990.
This is the beginning of revolutionize the world. Java was initially named “Oak” (Oak tree outside the Goslings house/office), later renamed as Java in 1994 (Reason: ‘Oak’ trademark already registered!).
