| Abstract: | Critics say Java isn't ready for prime time. But others are using it to solve real-world business problems. Java is like a child prodigy who can play a Rachmaninoff piano concerto but still isn't potty-trained. The flashes of brilliance and glimpses of future potential are marred by cranky behavior that's typical of a two-year-old. It's hard to overlook Java's immaturity. Compared to native code, interpreted Java byte code is as slow as a line at a post office. Java development tools are diamonds in the rough -- sometimes very rough. |
