    James Gosling, vice-president and fellow of Sun Microsystems. In late 1990, with Patrick Naughton and Mike Sheridan, Mr Gosling started Sun's “Green Project”, with the aim of producing an operating system for the consumer-electronics industry. Out of this came the Java programming language. With the emergence of the World Wide Web, Java became popular because of the ability of any application written in the language to be delivered over the Internet irrespective of the kind of computer or operating system it was to run on. Today, Java is being built into next-generation telephones, TV set-top boxes, smart cards and countless other consumer and industrial devices. As the original designer of the language and the person who implemented its first compiler and “virtual machine”, Mr Gosling is recognised the world over as the father of the Java programming language.
