What's Cool! Upgrades Net Search Net Directory Newsgroups Handbook B1. Where did the Java name come from? What does it stand for? The name was chosen during one of several brainstorming sessions held by the Java team. We were aiming to come up with a name that evoked the essence of the technology -- liveliness, animation, speed, interactivity, and more. "Java" was chosen from among many, many suggestions. The name is not an acronym, but rather a reminder of that hot, aromatic stuff that many programmers like to drink lots of. B2. Can the Java team keep me informed of latest developments? We no longer keep a list of people to inform; when we started that, we never expected that so many people would be writing to us every day! If you'd like to keep informed, the best way is to visit our web site http://java.sun.com/ periodically and participate in the Java-related newsgroups. Note in particular that our What's New page http:// java.sun.com/new.html provides an overview of the most recent developments, press releases, and so on concerning Java and HotJava. B3. What newsgroups carry information about Java and HotJava?
