Java is the most popular programming language

Filio Force Canada’s blog is about Java, a multi-platform, object-oriented, one of the most popular programming languages. It was first developed in 1991. The first version was released four years later. The creator of Java is James Gosling. Millions of applications based on Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, iOS platforms are written in this language. Such famous products as Spotify, Twitter, LinkedIn, Minecraft and many other applications, programmes, games are created using Java.

This language is used to develop mobile and web applications, enterprise software, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, games, cloud applications, etc. Java is widely used to create ERP systems, banking and financial projects, blockchain solutions, cryptocurrency exchanges, healthcare and energy programmes. The programmers of Filio Force IT Company also use Java in the development of most of the programmes for clients.

Virtual Java Machines

Platform independence is one of the key benefits of the Java language. Java technology is based on byte code. The programme is stored in special code that is platform independent. To make this code run on a particular processor, special Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) are used. They take into account all the peculiarities of the platform architecture and know how to process Java commands. In essence, it is a special programme that translates byte code into machine code for a specific processor. In simple terms, the same Java code can run on a computer, a phone and other devices.

Features of Java

This language has a simple and clear syntax, which makes it easy to write code. At the same time, Java is a very strict language. So strict that if a developer makes a mistake in the code, it will simply not compile.

Oracle, the company that owns the brand name and ensures that new versions are released, works diligently to maintain backwards compatibility. If you take code compiled on an older version of the Java language and put it into a new version, it is guaranteed to work. This is something that almost no other programming language in the world allows.

The developers have also paid a lot of attention to security. The virtual machine ensures that the programme does not access anything that is not within its remit. The Java language has been chosen by companies for whom security is paramount. Typically, web services and applications are implemented in this language by customers of very large companies, such as Netflix, Amazon and eBay. Virtually all banks and financial organisations use Java. Due to strict rules, applications written in Java are slower to break than other languages and have far fewer performance problems. Large companies need reliability, stability and the ability to maintain their programmes over the long term. That’s why they choose Java.

Frameworks

There are many different frameworks available for Java. This is due to the popularity of the language.

Here are a few that are worth mentioning:

  • Spring is one of the most widely used Java frameworks, especially for web application development.
  • Apache Struts is designed to inherit features of the Java servlet APIs, simplifying the web application development process.
  • Google Web Toolkit helps web developers build and maintain complex browser-based applications. The GWT toolkit includes all the Java API libraries, a compiler and a development server.
  • Grails is designed to provide a robust web environment for Java, reuse existing Java technologies in a single interface, provide a consistent development environment, and include a large amount of documentation.
  • Play is used to develop both web and mobile applications. Play includes many features that make it a favourite of many Java developers.
  • Hibernate is a Java framework that easily interacts with any database and is incredibly convenient when working with multiple databases simultaneously.

AR-technologies: combining real and virtual worlds

Augmented Reality (AR) is an environment that augments the world around us in real time. It is created by projecting digital information (text, images, graphics, video) onto the screen of various devices. This adds artificial elements and new information to the real world. This is done using devices such as tablets or smartphones. Of course, software is also required.

Specialists from Filio Force Inc. talked about the development and application of AR technologies.

Why code quality is important - Filio Force company's blog

Code quality: automation of verification and tools

Good code is clean code. Code quality affects the quality of software, its safety, security, and reliability. It is also a parameter determining the level and professionalism of developers.

The important stage in the process of development of any software is code checking. To do it manually is labour-intensive, troublesome, long and, as the result, expensive. Automation of the processes makes life of engineers easier and raises the efficiency of the development process itself. A serious verification system is able to generate test logic and run tests by itself to identify errors.

What is a PaaS platform?

PaaS – Platform-as-a-service. You don’t need to create your own solutions and tools to develop and use complex systems. You can use PaaS, which has everything you need. In the past, developers had to pick and buy a lot of different tools from different vendors. You had to maintain and integrate them, and they needed constant oversight. As the digital product develops, the number of tools used increases, and auxiliary solutions appear. As a result, everything becomes complex, and business processes become cumbersome and unmanageable.
