"When we consider the idea of how to program Java applications, there are a number of different facts that we need to consider beforehand. The Java language provides a programmer with, at this moment, a technology that has been brought to the market to offer a number of advantages. In the market, there are some languages that are partially similar to Java (e.g., JavaScript is at least partially based on Java, no matter what people say).To provide some examples, in a few cases Java is faster than C++ to develop programs. For all the small or large utilities that we may develop and if we don't know on which platform they will run, then it's better to code directly into something that is portable to other operating systems. This fact is especially pertinent at a time when a large number of different alternative OS are starting to become known to a wide variety of different players in the tech sector. Another thing you may wish to consider is that more and more companies are now making the decision to switchover to Linux. The different types of groups and entities that are now making the decision to switch over to Linux also include a few large and important organizations like the federal government of the United States of America. The incredible ecosystem of Java makes it easy for a dev to program a Java program and then run it on Linux ,Windows, Mac, Android, or even iOS. As for the level of loads, this is often something that has not yet been considered by the devs, but the Java ecosystem means that Java applications could very quickly scale up to handle more users. Not using an object-oriented language, and this is what happens if you program a computer program in C; and this is a limitation. But the truth is that this statement is intended to make sure that you are going to be presented with an excellent source of affirmation. I'd like to demand you to gain some insight from the following little bit of content. In Java you canal ways create a global class; that is, with static methods. Then you'll be able to make a static declaration. By making use of this static global class you will be able to get the same paradigm as in C. On the flip side, the opposite statement is not true. Java can function in a similar manner to a non-object-oriented language like the C programming language by making use of static declarations. At the same time, using a technology like C will limit the programmer because Cis not a fully objected oriented language. Java is still far away and especially not as fast as C++.As long as we don't make any serious mistakes while programming, Java is very permissive as a language. At the same time, a dev pays for this permissive functionality by trading the speed that a C++ program can run at for as lightly slower speed but with the advantage of being completely cross-platform. Therefore, the primary difference between Java and C++ is the Java is completely cross-platform but slightly slower. At the same time, the slightly faster speed offered by the C++ programming is not frequently sufficient enough to make up for the inconvenience of dealing with lots of different libraries and the difficulty of trying to take a C++program and convert it to be fully functional on different platforms. A C++ program can be converted to run on different operating systems, but each platform will require a significant amount of time to configure the program to run properly on that specific platform. At the same time, the benefits provided by the Java programming language will continue to be more and more attractive with regards to the fact that if you have a large number of different platforms that you wish to run your program on, then Java is the technology you should use." -- Back cover
