History of C language

By
The C language was developed at AT & T (American Telegraph & Telephone)  Bell Laboratories in the early 1972's by a system programmer named Dennis Ritchie. It was written originally for programming under an operating system called UNIX which itself was later rewritten almost entirely in C. Its name encrypted as C, derives from the fact that it is based on an earlier version written by Ken Thompson, another Bell laboratories system engineer. He adapted it from a language that was known by the initials BCPL (Basic Combined Programming Language). Thompson derived his programming language name as B, the first of the initials BCPL. When the language was modified and improved to its present state, the second letter of BCPL, C was given to it. The C language is often described as a middle level language. It permits programs to be written in much the same style as that of most of high-level programming language. It also interacts with the inner workings of the computer. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has established certain standards for C which is known as ANSI C in addition to the original version of C developed by Dennis Ritchie. The another popular version of C is Turbo C.

Network Topology

By
A network topology is the arrangement of the computers cable and other components on a network. The major goal of network topology is to find out the most economical and efficient way to connect all the users to the network resources while providing adequate capacity to handle users demand, maintain system reliability and decrease the delay.    Topology is the map of physical network. The type of topology we use defect the type and capabilities network hardware’s its management and possibilities for future expansion. There are many types of network topology, some of these are:   Bus Topology Star Topology Mesh Topology   Ring Topology Tree Topology

What is Servlet in Java?

By
A servlet is a small program that executes on a server. Just as applets dynamically extend the functionality of a web browser, servlets dynamically extend the functionality of a web server. It is helpful to understand that as useful as applets can be, they are just one half of the client/server equation. Not long after the initial release of Java, it became obvious that Java would also be useful on the server side. The result was the servlet. Thus, with the advent of the servlet, Java spanned both sides of the client/server connection.
