Popularity of Java
Java is a programming language designed to run dynamic, interactive and secure applications on computer systems. Java has several features which make it extremely popular. Even though Java has obtained remarkable popularity through it’s use on the internet, Java has also been adapted to the operating systems of several electronic devices which are commonly used.
How Java is used in the industry
Since Java’s inception in 1995, it began to spread throughout the programming world like a virus, gaining popularity everywhere it is used. The most common implementation of Java was through the “applet” for use on the internet. Java applets work in the background; the users often do not know that they are even using a Java applet (Catalano, 1999). With the use of applets, organizations can have an application run on virtually every machine regardless of their platform (Catalano). Java applets have become an industry standard in part to the multi-platform capabilities. However, the increased functionality over HTML, although commonly reserved for more advanced interfaces, have also contributed to the success of Java applets. (Catalano).
The internet applet is not the only success story for Java. Around the year 2000, Sun Microsystems released what is now known as Java Micro Edition, abbreviated Java ME (Giguere). Just as a wildfire spreads in the summer wind, Java ME spread rapidly, dominating mobile browsers and games. “All major mobile device vendors, including Nokia, Motorola, ... and Sony, have adopted Java as part of their core strategy for future smart devices” (Yuan, 2004). Mobile gaming is on the raise with Java leading the way in flash games including mobile device 3-D gaming (Mobile gaming).

Three weeks after Johnny’s PC tragedy occurred, another small crisis took place in Johnny Jellybean’s life. In his computer class, his teacher, Mr. Barber, had given him an impossible assignment. The assignment really wasn’t that difficult. All he had to do was write about the future of the internet. Unfortunately, the internet was like a different language to Johnny. In his despair he called his only tech savvy friend, Chris Cobalt.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) grand challenge is hosted a first of its kind all robotics race through the Mojave Desert from Barstow, California to Las Vegas, Nevada. Two hours before the race the contestants are given the route at which their robots will have to take in order to win the race. Once the race starts human intervention will result in disqualification. The prize for finishing in the fastest time is one million dollars. So far no one has ever finished the race the farthest robot going just over seven miles, but they have made tremendous progress.

Today, the world is changing fast in many ways, and the most rapid change that is seen within our society is technology. It is imperative that businesses stay on top of what is new and how they can better their company’s outlook by presenting their information in the fastest and most reliable ways. With the two major computer programming languages of today, C++ and Java, which is better for businesses to be able to acquire such speed and consistency?
...signed to provide server-side and client-side support for developing multitier distributed applications. This means that the various parts of an application can run on different devices. This platform is particularly suited for the development and deployment of web-based applications that use the Java programming language. The J2EE architecture (see figure 4. ) defines a client tier to provide the user interface, a middle tier (consisting of one or more sub-tiers) that provide client services and business logic for an application, and a back-end tier provide data management.
Essentially, Adobe Flash has managed to broaden our general comprehension of the innovative and enhanced Web 2.0 for the World Wide Web. Without this advanced software programming, the world would not experience the luxury of quality video and audio transmission. As a result, the world has evolved with the contemporary internet becoming more efficient each day. To this day, frequent users of Adobe Flash may thank the creator, Jonathan Gay for his contributions towards the dynamic World Wide Web.
Android is an equivalent open-source project led by Google and also an open-source software stack for an extensive range of mobile devices. Google designed and built Android. With millions of apps, games, videos, and music on Google Play, Android is fun to use and great to have. Android devices range from cellphones to tablets. They come in different sizes, features, designs, styles, and prices. Android is created in response to Google’s experience in introducing mobile apps. Android's purpose is to create an open platform for designers to build advanced and ori...
What is Java? Java, in it’s simplest definition, is a dynamic computer application that can run a program to accomplish a task. Java runs in all sorts of things in the average person’s life; things such as car stereo systems, televisions, cell phone applications, websites, and more. But, where did it come from, and how does it work, and how has it impacted our lives today?

Mobile application is a very aggressive market, there are hundreds of platforms to choose from when designing applications. There are several platforms that currently dominate over other platforms. The Android platform is very popular, it’s one of the most preferred platforms for building applications. Most of its applications are built using JAVA software, but there are others software that are just as equal or greater. Java software is free and offer a free software development kit. The kit consists of sample applications, source codes, developer tools, and emulators...
For this paper, I will explore the vast field of mobile technologies and how they have changed not only how businesspeople work, but how customers often use mobile technology to interact with businesses. As someone who is personally very passionate about mobile technology and its continuing growth and development, this topic is a natural fit for me to write about. Mobile technology has proven itself as a valuable asset to businesses of all sizes because of its constant availability and the wide array of functions these modern mobile platforms are capable of handling. There are many types of mobile technologies on the market, and in this paper I will cover a relatively small number of them relative to the other large, diverse set of devices that exist on the marketplace.
Mobile usage has proliferated in recent years. Areas all over the world have enjoyed the rapid development and high penetration of mobile devices. This popular trend has developed for so many reasons and has a lot to say about us.
Software engineering is important in today’s society because we use the products of software engineering almost daily. We use the products of software engineering in objects as simple as our car keys to objects as complicated as supercomputers. The past, present, and future of software engineering is quite interesting. This paper will provide information about this field of study and why software engineering is going to be around a while.
Operating systems work in two ways, by managing the hardware and software resources of the computer. Managing the hardware and software resources, is important because different programs and input methods go through the central processing unit (CPU) and both take up memory, storage and input/output bandwidth for their own purposes. Secondly, providing a consistent application interface, is critical if there is more than one of a specific type of computer using the same operating system, or if the computer’s hardware can be updated. A consistent application program interface (API) creates a way for a software developer to write an application on one computer and know that it will run on another of the same type, even if the memory and storage are different between computers.
