The Java language was released in 1995 at the time of explosive growth in the Internet. The initial language release included the Hot Java Web browser written in Java itself. This made it possible for the browser to execute programs from a Web page by means of applets. Shortly after, Netscape and Microsoft enabled their browsers to execute Java applets.
However, Java is also a fully computational object-oriented language. As such, it is a suitable vehicle for conventional standalone programs or applications, which is the main use of the language today.
Java is also a multithreaded language, and this feature makes it a highly scaleable language for programs that execute on a Web server. Consequently, in recent years, there has been increasing use of Java for server side, or servlet, programming
