Why you should learn Java Programming Language
Here is my list of 10 reasons, which I tell anyone who asks my opinion
about learning Java, and whether Java is a best programming language in
terms of opportunities, development and community support.
1) Java is Easy to learn
Many would be surprised to see this one of the top reason for learning
Java, or considering it as best programming language, but it is. If you
have a steep learning curve, it would be difficult to get productive in a
short span of time, which is the case with most of professional
project.
2) Java is an Object Oriented Programming Language
Another reason, which made Java popular is that it's an Object Oriented
Programming language. Developing OOPS application is much easier, and it
also helps to keep system modular, flexible and extensible.
3) Java has Rich API
One more reason of Java programming language's huge success is it's Rich
API and most importantly it's highly visible because come with Java
installation. When I first started Java programming, I used to code
Applets and those days Applets provides great animation capability,
which amazes new programmer like us, who are used to code in Turbo C++
editor. Java provides API for I/O, networking, utilities, XML parsing,
database connection, and almost everything. Whatever left is covered by
open source libraries like Apache Commons, Google Guava, and others.
4) Powerful development tools e.g. Eclipse , Netbeans
Believe it or not, Eclipse and Netbeans has played a huge role to make
Java one of the best programming languages. Coding in IDE is a pleasure,
especially if you have coded in DOS Editor or Notepad.
5) Great collection of Open Source libraries
Open source libraries ensures that Java should be used everywhere.
Apache, Google, and other organization has contributed lot of great
libraries, which makes Java development easy, faster and cost effective.
6) Wonderful community support
Community is the biggest strength of Java programming language and
platform. No matter, How good a language is, it wouldn't survive, if
there is no community to support, help and share there knowledge. Java
has been very lucky, it has lots of active forums, Stackoverflow, open
source organizations and several Java user group to help everything.
7) Java is FREE
People like FREE things, Don't you? So if a programmer want to learn a
programming language, or a organization wants to use a technology, COST
is an important factor. Since Java is free from start, i.e. you don't
need to pay anything to create Java application. This FREE thing also
helped Java to become popular among individual programmers, and among
large organizations. Availability of Java programmers is another big
think, which makes organization to choose Java for there strategic
development.
8) Excellent documentation support - Javadocs
When I first saw Javadoc, I was amazed. It's great piece of
documentation, which tells lot of things about Java API. I think without
Javadoc documentation, Java wouldn't be as popular, and it's one of the
main reason, Why I think Java is best programming language.
9) Java is Platform Independent
In 1990s, this was the main reason of Java Training in Jaipur popularity. Idea of platform independence is great, and Java's tag line "write once run anywhere"
was enticing enough to attract lots of new development in Java. This is
still one of the reason of Java being best programming language, most
of Java applications are developed in Windows environment and run in
UNIX platform.
10) Java is Everywhere
Yes, Java is everywhere, it's on desktop, it's on mobile, it's on card,
almost everywhere and so is Java programmers. I think Java programmer
out number any other programming language professional. Though I don't
have any data to back this up, but it's based on experience. This huge
availability of Java programmers, is another reason, why organization
prefer to choose Java for new development than any other programming
language.
