any java developers on here? I am starting to get into it more for work any good places for exercises or tutorials?
According to the install 3,000,000,000 devices use Java. We did have a full Java development team at work, but with redundancies, and migration to .Net we only have one left. Our developers created many things including an app that runs on our self service kiosks so that passengers (at most of the airports we fly from) can check themselves onto flights without needing to queue for the check-in desk.
yep java is one of the most popular and used languages out there! g y did they migrate onto .net? i work in a java app and will be gettin java dev down the line
I don't know the reasons, the decisions would've been made at a much higher level than me. All I know is that new stuff is coded in .Net and the existing Java stuff has either been recoded in .Net out deemed legacy and left as is.
Java isnt going away any time soon. We just launched a new major system that uses Java. Learn how to secure Java and make your apps defensible. Security Architects get paid really well and are highly in demand.... Seriously, I deal with security problems in apps all day long. One thing I have learned is that schools and programs that teach how to code never teach how to do it securely. I have one guy on my staff who works with our many different dev teams on a daily basis trying to implement security frameworks. Usually when we find a vulnerability we have to explain to the developer how to fix the coding problem. A developer who doesnt introduce security flaws is a near impossible thing to find. I would start with the 12 rules, if there is something you dont understand in these, that is where you should focus your learning. http://www.javaworld.com/jw-12-1998/jw-12-securityrules.html
