HI,
Your best bet is to use www.google.com ; and do a search for what you need to find.
This question is very involved and any volunteer would have to spend much time in answering all these questions!
Best wishes,

I'll answer the ones I can do off the top of my head.

1/ Who developed Java and when?

Check here --> http://java.sun.com/features/1998/05/birthday.html

3/ Is java used for websites or stand alone programs?

Both. It can be run as standalone applications or as applets on a web page. There's also servlets and JSP (Java Server Pages). Look these up.

4/ What does it mean when I say java is an "object oriented" language?

This is a HUGE question which would take a lot of time to answer. Just search on Google for some answer like Fredg suggested.

7/ What is the difference between an application and an applet?

Not a great answer ut here goes. An application is a stand alone piece of software that you run on a machine. An applet is a piece of code that runs on a client PC when they access a web page. The applet is part of a web page. Like I said, not a good answer. Look it up.


Try looking on http://java.sun.com for more info. Or go to the library and get some Java books out.
