Cloud And Internet Of Things Fuel Java's Ongoing Momentum

Cloud And Internet Of Things Fuel Java's Ongoing Momentum

The Java One San Francisco 2015 Java developers’ convention drew strong interest and provided meaningful information and interactions for its audience.
Oracle, Java’s parent company, announced a new offering for cloud-based Java services, entitled Java SE Cloud Service. It delivers not only Java but a host of open-source tools that are commonly used by Java developers. The offering reflects the growing importance of cloud computing in software development. Several sessions expanded on this theme, while many others provided information about the use of Java in the burgeoning Internet of Things space.
Dating back to the days when Java was owned by Sun Micro systems, Java One has long been the largest congregation of Java programmers in the world. This year, more than 9,000 developers participated in almost 500 different sessions, with the average attendee participating in 14 sessions.
This level of interest is particularly noteworthy because there was no major news announced at the conference this year. Because Java and the Java Development Kit (JDK) are developed as open source, new releases of the software are delivered “when it’s ready,” in keeping with the conventions of the open source community. This is in counterpoint to commercial enterprises, which often release new products in conjunction with big events or trade shows.
The overarching themes at this year’s conference were Java’s twentieth anniversary and its expanding presence in two areas: the cloud and in the Internet of Things (IoT). Its role in the cloud derives from the fact that every major cloud platform supports Java, where it’s used primarily for web applications and for processing big data. Java’s ability to scale to accommodate big data was particularly convincingly demonstrated in one session whose topic was running a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that could stretch to use 16 terabytes of RAM. Not storage, but 16TB of RAM—or about 2,000 times the RAM found on the latest business PCs.

The Armaggeddon Microtron T2X The Armaggeddon Microtron T2X has a the ATX form factor. ATX is the most ubiquitous of case standards, providing the largest array of compatible hardware on the market. Using the ATX standard, the case can house motherboards and power supplies with form factors ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX . The dimensions of the case itself (LxWxH) are 527mm x 240mm x 486mm . The Armaggeddon Microtron T2X has four expansion slots, so there is some room for extra components, which may be a deciding factor when planning on the longevity and build type of a PC system. The case has two 5.25" drive bays , and two 3.5" drive bays, which is quite a small amount of space, although you can install an SSD or laptop hard drive in the one 2.5" drive bay . Made primarily of Steel, the Armaggeddon Microtron T2X is built to be strong and well-ventilated. Steel cases are generally fairly cheap and sturdy, but also tend to be quite heavy. Whatever y

Java shines brightest in language popularity

Java shines brightest in language popularity Java's popularity keeps climbing and climbing. Once again, Java leads both the Tiobe and PyPL indexes . But this month, Java climbed above a 20 percent rating in the Tiobe index, which gauges popularity based on a formula that assesses searches on languages in multiple search engines. Java's rating was 20.403 percent, the first time it had reached a level exceeding 20 percent since July 2009. Java's Tiobe rating was 19.543 percent in October, and it has increased more than 6 percentage points in the past year. In the PyPL index, which assesses searches on language tutorials in Google, Java claimed a 24.4 percent share. Tiobe said the recent JavaOne conference in San Francisco helped Java. Tiobe Managing Director Paul Jansen, who compiles the index, also sees Java's evolution as helping. "The Java language is changing nowadays, after having been at the same level for many years," Jansen
