Solve : Java at 20: How it changed programming forever? |
|
Answer» Not a question, but an invitation for comments. Java changed all that. While platform-dependent, manually allocated, procedural C code will continue to be with us for the next 20 years at least, Java proved this was a choice, not a requirement. For the first time, we began writing real production code in a cross-platform, garbage-collected, object-oriented language; and we liked it ... millions of us. Languages that have come after Java, most notably C#, have had to clear the new higher bar for developer productivity that Java established What do you think about Java? If you are a SOFTWARE engineer and you’re working on Java platform, then Java is definitely not dead. I think, near about 60% - 70% of job offers involve Java programming. Java is widespread in the enterprise as well as open source frameworks and platforms.Correct link is: Java at 20:How it changed programming forever Other variations of interpretive code followed. A large body of applications now are in some kind of byte-code like Java. But Java is a name held by Sun/Oracle. So the mutations can not be Java. Some think that in five years Oracle will loose its control. Reference: http://alternativeto.net/software/java/ There is a rebellion to overthrow the Java kingdom. I have books on Java and Java Script which are 2 different but similar languages. Back when I was in college during the Dot-Com Bubble years 1997 thru 2000 it was important to learn and apply it as fast as your learned it. Friends of mine were making money left and RIGHT with freelance web design for everything from somewhat simple HTML with some neat Java Scripts to full projects with Java server side for businesses. My BIGGEST problem during these years was that I wasnt focused enough to just deal with one thing as for I wanted to learn it all and so instead of spending the time my friends did with Java and Java Script projects, I was jumping all over the place with projects in C, C++, Visual Basic, Perl, HTML, Java, and Java Script and many many hours wasted but enjoyed playing video games. So I became familiar with these, but sort of a master of none by not being focused enough on one specific language. In my area there has been a decline in Java positions in the employment ads and an ever growing listing for Ajax with Ruby and PHP. Its been a rare site to see Java anymore. Not to say that its dead, but the demand seems to be with Ruby and PHP in my area with Ajax Framework.Quote from: DaveLembke on June 22, 2015, 12:29:40 PM I have books on Java and Java Script which are 2 different but similar languages.aside from both languages having semicolons and braces, they are completely different languages. Visual Basic has more in common with Java than Javascript does. Java is an Object Oriented language where everything is part of a class; Javascript is not Object Oriented, instead it's OO capabilities are mimicked via prototyping. The similarities between Java and Javascript pretty much end at the name. They are about as similar as a car is to carpet or a hamster is to ham. Personally I think Java is one of the least usable of the more POPULAR languages in use today. I never say to myself "Oh right, I'm using Java" In a good way- it's always when I try something that doesn't exist in Java. Or like I always think when I run the Java Installer where it says "Over one billion devices run Java"- "Oh don't be so melodramatic, we don't live in a world that is that awful"The similarities between Java and Javascript pretty much end at the name. They are about as similar as a car is to carpet or a hamster is to ham.Quote from: tiarulehe on July 06, 2015, 08:30:44 PM The similarities between Java and Javascript pretty much end at the name.
