Why Java is Useful for Enterprise Software Projects

Posted: 6 Jan 2018

Over 2017, a number of debates took place questioning the longevity of Java and whether it would soon be replaced by other popular programming languages.

However, as one of the most widely used methods of coding, the number of projects undertaken with Java as their primary coding method has increased by as much as 20%, despite reports from Technology Analysts hinting that it could soon disappear.

Java’s popularity can be attributed to its platform independence, allowing it to be run on a variety of different computers. Additionally, its simple language shares similarities with C and C++, meaning that it is familiar territory for coders with experience in this area, while its object-orientation provides the software with a state and behaviour. This comes in especially useful when creating enterprise software.

Enterprise software is created to fulfil the needs of a company rather than an individual user. It is considered to be a crucial part of a computer-based information system and supports a high volume of internal traffic within an organisation.

Practicality

One of the main reasons why Java is useful for the creation of enterprise software projects is its practicality. Due to there being a number of similarities between Java and other coding languages, developers who have had experience in other languages can easily read the code.

Compatibility

In addition to being easy to read, Java can continue to run unchanged on updated systems. This is especially helpful when looking to create a newer version of your enterprise software, and is something that is unique to the language. Although there have been a couple of issues with this in the past, most notably with Java SE 5 and assertions in Java SE 1.4, it is one of the most fascinating features for developers and is highly efficient.

Scalability

Another key feature which contributes to Java’s success within the enterprise software industry is due to its scalability. From Twitter and eBay to Facebook and Spotify, they were all created using Java coding. Thanks to Java Virtual Machine (JVM), frameworks for large-scale projects created in Scala or Java can run smoothly, with performance running at the best of its ability.

Updated

After the launch of JDK8, the popularity of Java saw an increase, which was documented by the TIOBE index. With the introduction of API and Lambda expressions, the interface underwent a dramatic transformation which changed the way that developers were using the programming language. The update made things more convenient for its users, as well as upping the efficiency.

Since JDK8, its successor, JDK9 has further begun to alter the way in which developers use it; JDK9 introduced modularity, which made it much easier for developers to build, deploy and maintain big enterprise applications.

Security

One of the essential things to consider when creating enterprise software is the security of the program. Being used by large groups of people, it is imperative that there is a security standard put in place that allows enterprises to download any folder with non-trusted programs. Additionally, the application can use these codes, analysing that what is contained within the app is secure, before abandoning the corrupted data.

Recruitment process was smooth. Alan was in touch with me via email even when I was out of Ireland. I was given sufficient time for interview preparation and they also gave me enough time to rest after coming back to Ireland and did not rush me to join work immediately.

I'm currently contracting through Eolas and I couldn't recommend them enough. Everything from interviews through to supporting on boarding has been very efficient. I've dealt primarily with Stephen Daly for recruitment, he's a gentleman, very competent and always available for questions. Also Berilyn Teeling my accounts contact is very friendly and professional.One stand out feature is the communication between agents in Eolas. When you take the time to reply with feedback to one of the Eolas agents about a proposed role that isn't for you, you'll be contacted about a position that suits you if one arises!

From the initial discussion about my role through, the vetting, onboarding and right through to the invoicing and payment process the experience with Eolas has been first rate. Luke helped me highlight the items on the CV that the client was looking for and Stephen gave me solid advice about how to invoice in Euros from a UK company. Stephen advised me to open a euro account. Advice which I initially ignored...at my cost...the Royal Bank of Scotland creamed 4.6% of my first invoice! Next time I will listen to the voice of experience.
