====In 1977, Gosling received a [|B.Sc] in Computer Science from the [|University of Calgary]. In 1983, he earned a [|Ph.D] in Computer Science from [|Carnegie Mellon University], and his doctoral thesis was titled "The Algebraic Manipulation of Constraints". His thesis advisor was [|Raj Reddy]. While working towards his doctorate, he wrote a version of [|Emacs] ([|gosmacs]), and before joining [|Sun][|Microsystems] he built a multi-processor version of Unix[|[][|2][|]] while at [|Carnegie Mellon University], as well as several [|compilers] and [|mail systems].==== ====Between 1984 and 2010, Gosling was with [|Sun Microsystems]. He is known as the father of the [|Java programming language].====

====On April 2, 2010, Gosling left Sun Microsystems which had recently been acquired by the [|Oracle Corporation]. Regarding why he left, Gosling wrote on his blog that "Just about anything I could say that would be accurate and honest would do more harm than good." He has since taken a very critical stance towards Oracle in interviews, noting that "During the integration meetings between Sun and Oracle, where we were being grilled about the patent situation between Sun and Google, we could see the Oracle lawyer's eyes sparkle."====

====On March 28, 2011, James Gosling announced on his blog that he had been hired by [|Google]. Five months later, he announced that he joined a startup called [|Liquid Robotics][|.]====

====Gosling is listed as an advisor at the [|Scala] company Typesafe, launched in May 2011. [From Wikipedia]====
