Summary
Java's use is becoming more widespread and will continue to do so as the Internet and e-commerce applications mature. The language is designed with security, platform independence, and reduced development and maintenance costs as core features that will enable it to handle the hardware and operating system changes that are currently happening at Internet speed.
ERP systems are becoming commonplace among successful corporations. Thus, the ability to integrate with these large and complex pieces of software is mandatory for both third-party developers and the corporations themselves. Java allows this integration to be as cost-efficient and timely as possible. The cost savings are mainly derived through a write-once philosophy because Java code is truly platform independent. Another cost saver is in the way that the language was developed. Though Java is not as robust as C++, Java code can get the job done with the final version of the code usually being easier to read and less complicated than a similar program written in C++. Finally, Java was designed for the Web and includes threads, security, sockets, and more. Java is a revolution in computing because it represents a shift in the corporate viewpoint of computing from a desktop-centric to a network-centric model. This approach moves a great deal of application complexity away from the desktops and onto the network and servers, where it can be centrally and professionally managed.
