Hi

Can any body appraise me the significance  of Java Language as compared with other langs.Ofcourse java has many meritorious points in comparison.But the most of all is yet to be heard .This will be useful for the whole lot of Java  oriented community to boast off.
Thanks a lot.

What do you mean by "the most of all"? What are you looking for that hasn't been said in numerous books and articles?

Hi
Thanks.
Significance is a varible, one must take advantage of this free option and indicate the best one accordingly.
Unlike  the famous Parkinson's law which says for example
when the price is zero the demand is more  on Consumable goods.,
you may highlight no matter how so
many books describe.
This is just to know more about java 's  greatness
Thanks

One thing that differentiates Java from many languages is that it come close to the Write Once, Run Anywhere promise.  Of course, anyone who has tried this in the real world often runs into problems, but if you are careful, you really can write a nontrivial application that runs just about anywhere.

Hi.
Java is a platform independent. Platform independent means java can run on any computer irrespective to the hardware and software dependency. Means Java does not depend on hardware means what type of processor , RAM etc. Java will run on a machine which will satisfy its basic needs.

Java creates applications that run in a virtual machine or browser while JavaScript code is run on a browser only. Java code needs to be compiled while JavaScript code are all in text. They require different plug-ins for their own needs.

Welcome to the Ranch, Tyler

Quite disagree with this statement. Both languages can run on a browser as well as both can run on a server.

Both of the languages codes are in text. Java is compiled, while JavaScript is interpreted - I think this is what you actually meant.

Tyler Manharth wrote:They require different plug-ins for their own needs.


I don't think that languages require plug-ins. Maybe people use plug-ins for their needs in order to simplify some stuff. But not quite sure what you exactly meant by plug-ins and in which context.

Probably more of a, on those, on which Java Virtual Machine can run.
