Hi All:
I am mainly a C++ programmer. Recently, I need to do cross platform
development work and Java came across my mind. My worries are as
follows:
1. Is Java suitable as a language to develop software application in
an operational environment? My company needs to run application 24hrs
a day and 7 days a week (ie. non stop). I have heard that Java is
slower than C++ and Java has a larger memory footprint as compared to
C++. Are these true?
2. I have came across wonderfully written Java applications that works
smoothly. May I know is there any tips or tricks whereby one can
follow to streamline a Java program, such as conforming to certain
architecture or design principles etc.
Thank you for your time in answering these naive questions.
