Why JAVA is still popular among IT companies

Today, Java is more than a language and a platform when it comes to its implementation in various fields. It is one of the best programming languages followed by the C language.

Java started as a project incorporated by ‘The Green Team’ of Sun microsystem engineers by the name of ‘Oak.’ The name of this project was changed to Java in 1995, which is now acquired by the Oracle Corporation.

The motive was to develop technology for television, set up boxes, and electronic devices, but the result was beyond the goals.

Currently, Java is running on millions of devices, and its field of research is above all.

Developers Zone:

Java provides a bunch of modules, packages, regular expressions, cloning type features for developing varieties of applications. Some Java framework editions like Hibernate, Spring, Android EJB, Servlet, Mail, Struts are available for writing application code. You’ll get the advantage of importing packages for middleware’s interaction, networking, applets, etc.

There are so many companies available in the market which offer modules, learning packages, and Java training programs for developing applications in Java. Moreover, you can find out resources on the internet archive in the form of videos, pdf, presentations, notes, etc.

Some companies also provide tools and make easier for developers to write code and develop web, mobile or standalone applications in an organized and structured way with minimum bugs.

Some of these tools are:

1). Java Development Kit(JDK)

2). Eclipse IDE

3). Netbeans

4). Apache ANT

5). Oracle JDeveloper

6). Apache Maven

7). Gradle

8). Android Studio

9). Sun ONE Studio 4 etc.

When choosing these tools, make sure you understand what package you want and go with the right one so that you can continue with application development without creating a mess.

Java Application Types:

Multiple running applications are developed in Java, making it feasible to reduce human efforts. They are used in various fields.

1). Java Standalone Applications:

Java standalone applications are desktop applications developed for a client to install and use directly on the machine. They are wholly separated from the operating system processes. Examples of these are antiviruses, video players, etc.

2). Java Web Applications:

The applications that execute on the server side and creates dynamic content are web applications. They are developed using Java. Java offers technologies like Servlet, Java Server Page(JSP), Spring, Hibernate, Spring etc., to create these applications. Addon Solutions is delivering robust and scalable Java Web Development Services since 2000

3). Java Enterprise Applications:

Enterprise level of applications for supply and distribution, banking and finance, and school management systems are also developed in Java. These systems are distributed in nature and are wholly-managed, primarily about security, hits, load balancing, etc.

4). Java Mobile Applications:

Mobile applications are becoming an increasingly important part of our lives. More and more people depend on these apps and Android leads the way in the apps market. Apps are also becoming more sophisticated. These Android applications designed to run on mobile phones or tablets like devices. Moreover, thanks to technological advancements, apps can now interact with artificial intelligence to give users a heightened UX.

The Java Micro Edition and Android which is also developed in Java are used to create such applications. Currently, millions of apps including games, security, video audio calls, etc., run on mobile phones.

Features:

Java is popular amongst developers due to various reasons. Some of them are:

1). Platform Independent:

Developers are fond of Java because it runs on multiple platforms, such as windows, Macintosh, Linux, etc. During the compilation, the generated bytecode can run anywhere on various platforms.

2). Object-Oriented Language:

Java has objects, which enable users to develop codes quickly in an organized way. It has features like polymorphism, encapsulations (wrapping data in the single form), abstraction, classes, and inheritance that make it easy to use for developing applications.

 3). Secured:

Java language provides the highest level of security through classloader, bytecode verifier, and security manager. It also supports other security services and mechanisms like SSL/TLS, cryptography, etc.

 4). Robust:

Java is a highly advanced coding language as it holds features like memory management, errors, and exception management.

 5). Multithreaded:

Java shares a memory pool for the multithreading operation as multiple threads are subjected to run concurrently for performing numerous tasks, making it faster.

 6). Distributed:

Java provides features for creating distributed applications that share data over a server, for example, data sharing in banking applications.

 In the News:

 Recently, Intel, a giant in the field of computing has worked on the enhancement of Java for its uses in computational problems of machine learning and artificial intelligence. An advanced algorithm with instructions is implemented in their Xeon processor for driving a faster way to calculate complex problems like multiplication of matrices, etc.

Recently, Java is used to develop marine robots for gathering scientific data from oceans. “Mr. James Gosling,” the inventor of Java, is empowering this project.

Implementation Zone & Conclusion:

In the real world, Java is used in multiple fields. Some of them are Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Banking System Software’s, Gaming Applications, Order management, scientific applications like natural language processing, Trading Applications, website and application development.

So Java is essential when it comes to developing applications, and developers are in quest of developing robust applications with dynamic functionalities through it.
