Cloud computing has made it easy for any developer to create applications and deliver them to millions of client devices without having to know anything about server infrastructure. With infrastructure becoming a service, developers can truly focus on solving business problems and on the requirements of their applications.
Eliminating infrastructure headaches is welcome, but it is not nearly enough. Developers should not just rely on a programming language, but rather use a platform that provides a solid foundation for their applications and enables them to be more productive.
Many developers underestimate the importance of choosing the right platform. There are many concerns to consider: services provided, ease of development, cost, community, reliability, scalability, proven track record, documentation, and so on.
Java EE is an excellent platform for building web and enterprise applications. Java EE is sometimes misunderstood because of its size and complexity, and because its learning curve can be a little steep at first. But don’t let that distract you: the core concepts are not that hard to grasp. Once you understand them, the functionality that Java EE provides becomes easier to use, and development becomes more productive. In many cases, Java EE encourages good code design practices as well.
Just like you can get infrastructure as a service (IaaS), you can also get a platform as a service (PaaS). Cloud computing providers relieve you from the task of installing and configuring the platform on server machines. Several cloud computing providers offer Java EE services. All you have to do is develop your application, configure it, and publish it to the Java EE service provider. Your application becomes available on-line instantly.
Java EE is evolving with the needs of the industry. This blog will follow these developments as they happen. Stay tuned!
