Switching from php to Java2.

Filed under: Programming — kayode muyibi @ 7:26 pm

I decided to switch to Java2 because the php development team knows themselves that php is not the future. Dont ask me why ? I mean I think php is been developed towards what Java is today. Well they claim they have web in mind. But I doubt so. Java is not stagnant, it is growing, besides doing what most programming language of today such as C# , C++ do. Infact it does everything depending on which of its advanced feature you decide to implement.

The problem with Java is just that it is not opensource, and it requires a handful number of resources, but anywayz its development suite is available for free, and you can develop without spending a dime. Hosting also on such platform is hard to come by, but available.

My line of future work, which would involve developing or supervising the development of Enterprise related apps, for my setup requires me to go for a very established language, and Java just fits in perfectly.

Php is just trying to fit into that place. Introduction of php5 into the market solves one of the main feature, the OOP approach to programming, how about the different environments?

Having a language that is compatible with any platform is welcomed, but when it is restricted in the environmental area, it calls for questioning, especially in organisations that not only transact on the web but on desktop and other enviroments. Dont tell me the PHP-GTK solves that. No it doesnt.

Php is just still a language developed with the web in mind, and thus my world of programming does not end with just the web in mind. It is an added flavour in my mind though.

I need a language that would not only have platform independence but also enviromental independence, be it desktop, mobile , to name a few. Hence I am not upgrading myself to php5. I am sticking with php4, and rather I am getting into the world of java. My main area of interest is the web and mobile interactivity of applications on different platforms , besides environment. Making both work hand in hand, in realtime human activities.

The web ensures the integration of the international network of systems whilst having mobile devices such as watches, pens, shoes, googles and even keys interact with such networks in realtime is still a dream come true.

Imagine having a shoe that works hand in hand with your environment and directs you to a location using technologies that connects to a service provider, that provides such services.

Watching too much sci-fic movies? I dont think so. Java doesnt think so either. So here I begin on my trip to the world of Java. I dont mean the Island of indonesia. :)
