"Java may not be the best tool for making desktop applications
(although it is a thousand times better at it than it used to be), but
as many before me have said, Java really shines on the server, which
is where most people deploy it now days."
I don't program in Java, obviously. I'm not an IT professional, and
though i have learnt some scripting languages such as python, ruby,
and perl, i have stayed away from Java and C++ as they're not use for
me.
Can someone explain to me please why Java "shines on the server"? I
have learnt some perl and PHP, how does Java on the server differ from
those two, other than it being more difficult for me to learn and use?
but more importantly, the first question, why it "shines on the
server", as opposed to the desktop, and also as opposed to other
languages.
