Chapter 335

In order to fight against Microsoft, Windows 95 should not be more beautiful than before. On April 2, Williams x laboratory released Java language on April Fool's day. At the same time, it also launched Java platform!

Java platform is composed of Java virtual machine and Java application programming interface. As long as a Java platform is installed on the hardware or operating system platform, Java applications can run. At present, Williams x laboratory has launched three Java platform systems: the first is java se, the second is Java EE, and the third is java me.

Javase allows the development and deployment of Java applications used in desktop, server, embedded environment and real-time environment, mainly designed for personal computers!

Java EE enterprise version helps to develop and deploy portable, robust, scalable and secure server-side java applications. It provides Web services, component models, management and communication APIs, and can be used to implement enterprise level service-oriented architecture. It is mainly 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). In the future, Android system will use javame.

With the Java platform, there must be programming tools, right?

Williams x lab has developed a development tool called eclipse, which is available for free download.

Java is open source, but open source does not mean free. What is really free is called "free software". If it is marked with "free software", it is not only open-source, but also can be used casually. There will never be any infringement.

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

So, with Java, Williams x lab can basically make money in the following three ways.

First, you can make money through Java software.

Second, we can make money through technical support.

Third, you can make money from licenses. Ordinary users don't need money to learn and use Java, but if a company wants to develop commercial software with Java, it has to buy a special license from sun, otherwise it will be an infringement. In previous generations, Microsoft developed its own java compiler platform for sale without sun's consent, and it was dedicated to windows. As a result, sun sued Microsoft. In April 2004, Microsoft paid sun $1.95 billion to settle sun's accusation of violating the Java language license agreement. At that time, Netscape, IBM and other companies had purchased licenses from sun.

Java has brought honor to Sun and attracted worldwide attention, and has also led to the sale of Sun's servers and operating system. The market value soared to $about two hundred billion before the Internet bubble.

Because Java has the characteristics of ignoring platform, it can run on any hardware or operating system. Therefore, Java can completely bypass Microsoft's cash cow: Windows operating system, which is a huge impact on Microsoft. Based on the windows system platform, Microsoft has created a profit model and integrated environment belonging to Microsoft, and it depends on it to eat. If the third-party developers install the Java platform on the windows system and develop on the Java platform, will they pay Microsoft in the future?!

At the same time, the developed Java software can run on any hardware with Java platform installed. It can be imagined that as long as the software is developed once, it can make money on multiple platforms. Third party software providers are naturally willing to develop java software! If a Java operating system appears at this time, it will undoubtedly pose a huge challenge to Microsoft's operating system!

In the past, sun's Solaris Operating system was the only one that could challenge windows. Unfortunately, the Internet bubble has come too fast, and sun's hardware has not been sold overnight, and then it is a huge loss. Solaris operating system has not succeeded in counterattack finally.

After the end of the Java press conference of Williams x lab, it caused a huge sensation in the industry!

As soon as Microsoft released Windows 95, the Williams x lab immediately released Java, which is tantamount to working against Microsoft. At the moment, many companies are beaten by Windows 95, the operating system market share is lost, and the software market share is lost. Moreover, hardware companies have to give in to Microsoft and cooperate with them in production. They are required to fit the windows 95 system and maximize the performance of the system!

At this time, the emergence of Java, let us see a glimmer of hope.

Java ignores the properties of the platform, plus Java absorbs the advantages of C + +, it is a very perfect language, great potential!

Since you can't get along with windows, you can only get along with Java platform!

Henry's companies, including 360 Netscape browser, Isearch search, ICQ and other Internet companies, took the lead in issuing a statement expressing their support for Java. Noah ark, situ and clay supercomputers also later expressed their support for Java.

A large group of companies come out to support Java. It's hard to be successful!

Before long, IBM, Oracle and other companies also expressed support for Java.

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

Later, Sun company also issued a statement to support Java. When Henry saw it, he couldn't help laughing. Come and buy a Java license quickly, or he'll sue you

In order to promote Java, the Internet, newspapers, television have carried out publicity.

"The strongest programming language in history -- Java."

"Regardless of any hardware or operating system, you can run Java programs!"

"Easy to learn, easy to start!"

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

“……”

Within a week, the number of downloads of Java platform and eclipse development tools exceeded more than 3 million. Countless programmers were interested in Java, and countless companies joined in the embrace of Java. The school also began to encourage students to learn the Java language.

For a time, Java is very popular. People are full of confidence in the Java language. Many experts and professors say that Java is simple, object-oriented, stable, platform independent, interpretive, multithreaded, dynamic and so on. It is an essential tool for IT professionals. Java will become the most popular language!

Once Java is popular, it will build up a huge and perfect ecosystem. At that time, the position of Microsoft system will be in danger!

Henry asked Williams x lab to merge the Java division into apple to enhance its strength and reputation. The more popular Java is, the more famous apple will be. Only by launching its operating system can it win the recognition of Java developers all over the world!

Although 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 acquisition plan, and then Apple immediately held a press conference to announce that Apple had completed the acquisition of the Java division of Williams x laboratory. Once the news came out, it once again caused a huge sensation in the industry!

Senior experts in the industry have said that Apple's success in Java is like a tiger's wings, with boundless development potential!

Senior Wall Street analysts believe that if Apple goes public, its market value is likely to reach hundreds of billions of dollars, or even more. At present, the vast majority of investors are optimistic about Apple's future development prospects!

"Apple has mastered Java, and its rise is unstoppable!"

"Apple has a trump card in its 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 has been supported by more third-party software companies!

Apple, of course, is famous for its Java revenue!

But this time, the Williams x lab is showing its edge, but the whole world begins to pay attention to it!!!

(PS: second shift, there's still a little time in the afternoon, continue to code)
