Java
is regarded as an excellent programming language with respect to the
development of cross platform network applications. It boasts of a
really great ecosystem in comparison to that of .NET or Objective-C. The
developer gets the option of seamless transition of what is written in
Java. One also gets the option to carry out scripting in Groovy or
JRuby. Therefore, the professionals can take advantage of the powerful
concurrency abstractions in Clojure. Moreover, it is free of cost. Thus,
it is an economical solution that also ensures fast performance. Its
impressive portability lets it to run on almost everything.
Portability
Portability
is almost synonymous and acts as a key to this programming language. A
program that is being coded with Java will thus run on all devices as
well as on all sorts of operating system. Thus with Java, there is
hardly any need to go for creation of different releases with parity to
different operating systems. Moreover, it has in built security that
renders the coding of safe programs easier. C# is also not as portable
as Java is and at the same time consists of very few features that Java
does not have.
Framework for all types of Applications
It
has a suitable framework to meet the requirements of every applications
of a developer. Swing or JavaFX for example pertains to simple desktop
applications whereas Servlet or JSP EJB to online enterprise or database
application. JDBC or Hibernate can be used for database applications.
Thriving community
This
programming language enjoys a huge community that actually helps the
programmer in the most critical of situations. It has been building
wizards that are similar to the help wizard windows one comes across in
windows that are ready to offer suggestions as well as hints to the
users.
Open source and open to new ideas
The
chosen programming language is free as it is an open source. It thus
provides the opportunity to a wide variety of modifications and changes.
As a result, the expert communities in order to make it easier for the
programmer to make changes on a regular basis like that of building new
frameworks. Reference can be made of Spring and Hibernate.
Speed, Portability and Security
Java
has been able to maintain a good balance between Portability, Security
and Speed that stand as the three pillars for its success. These three
pillars are crucial to lend support to every programming language. One
can draw the comparison between the chosen programming language and
C/C++ with respect to these three pillars. C/C++ is really good in terms
of portability along with speed but poor in security.
It
is highly secure as it operates through several layers of security. It
does not offer access directly to the operating system that underlies
its functions. Though it slightly affects the speed but ensures strict
security. Thereby it creates a healthy balance of the three leading to a
successful programming language.
Write once and run anytime, anywhere
Java
offers the programmers the freedom to write a function once which
afterwards is allowed to run anytime on any device thereby contributing
to the exciting feature of platform independence. Java compiler instead
of creating an executable file creates a code that is half compiled
termed as Bytecode. This Bytecode is then submitted to the Java Virtual
machine that is installed in a specific operating system that
understands the same. It then processes the same code for running the
application.
Efficient Coding Tools
Java
has numerous tools to offer for the purpose of efficient coding like
Eclipse, Jdeveloper, Netbeans, etc. There is always a rat race going on
amongst the tools as which will outsmart the other with respect to the
ease of usage along with availability of beneficial features.
Java
offers the extended benefits of reflection, sandbox execution, memory
management to its users. It provides a more reliable code along with the
handling of all related problems for the user. It actually relies on a
virtual processor for execution of the code. The memory allocation for
example is handled by the garbage collector by freeing memory
automatically when not used automatically which in turn helps in
enabling the optimization of the memory usage which serves as the
ultimate factor in systems characterized by memory constrains.
There is a lot more to Java application development
that makes one able to go on writing with the same. The communities
have always been developing something or the other to modify as well as
enhance the language thereby adding to the ease of the programmers.
