Despite attention getting headlines that talk about the death of Java, Java is alive and well and a great programming language to know. Here are 9 reasons why Java is the place to be in 2012 and beyond:
- Java is the #1 language for enterprise development
- There are more Java jobs around than any other
- Demand for Java Developers is HUGE
- Java is a stable language that lets developers create well-structured code that is easy to maintain
- Oracle estimates there are more than 9 MILLION Java developers worldwide
- Oracle estimates there are 3 BILLION devices that run Java
- Because of Android, Java is one of the most popular mobile development platforms
- Oracle puts the percent of enterprise desktops that run Java at 97%
- There are 115 million television devices now running Java
If you are currently a programmer and would like to get in on the demand for Java Programmers, then you can jump straight into Java with Java 6 with Swing and Servlets. Once you have mastered Java, you can jump right into Android Programming.
