Java
What is Java?
Official technology website: http://java.sun.com/
Official Java consumer website: http://www.java.com/en/
Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%2...ng_language%29
Who uses Java?
NASA makes extensive use of Java. Java was its main programming language for the Mars Pathfinder mission, used extensively for data processing. The Hubble Space Telescope's control system interface is written in Java as well. NASA also uses Java for various day-to-day back-end processes in addition to its front-line space exploration programmes.
The number of Java users are too many to list. But a very small subset of larger organisations that use Java for products or research and development include: LG, Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, Apple, IBM, Google, Xerox, Siemens, Motorola and Sun itself.
Various websites use Java and JSPs (Java Server Pages) to drive it:
Electronic Arts: http://www.ea.com/language.jsp
General Motors: http://www.gm.com/
Sun Microsystems: http://www.sun.com/
Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/
Some interesting applications developed purely in Java:
Art of Illusion 3D graphics suite (note: gallery is very outdated): http://www.artofillusion.org/
