Why Java?
The success of Java stems from unswerving focus of its
founders, to create a language that lives and breathes on
the Internet. Unlike competing languages, Java has the fundamentals
of the Internet built into its design. Listed below are some of
the benefits this brings, all adding up to a language that you
can confidently employ to write large distributed intranet environments.
- Java programs are installed on the server, clients then download
them automatically as required. This means significant cost savings when
it comes to installation and distribution.
- Java has integral support for the types of applications suited to
the Internet. Examples include XML, multi-media, 2D advanced imaging and
3D large virtual worlds.
- Java is machine and operating system independent. As the slogan goes,
"Write once, run anywhere".
- Java incorporates the latest features for software developers. Any
gain in development time means a lower cost for the client.
