Java.<\/p>\n<p>Next up: operating system development.\u00a0 What platform has erupted as the next big deal for smartphones? Android, Google\u2019s operating system that took top spot for smartphone market share in the fourth quarter of 2011 (with 32.9% of global market).\u00a0 Android\u2019s software stack is made up of Java apps running on a Java-based object-oriented application framework.<\/p>\n<p>Being integral to next-generation operating systems easily demonstrates Java\u2019s continued fitness as a powerful and reliable foundation.\u00a0 On top of it, application development continues to benefit from Java with mobile app development for Android being done primarily in that language.<\/p>\n<p>Devices like Amazon\u2019s Kindle, Sony Ericsson\u2019s line of web-enabled media phones, and the Blu-ray Disc format all benefit from Java.\u00a0 Software such as Alice, Carnegie Mellon\u2019s free programming environment to Google Maps (who hasn\u2019t used that?) to Nuesoft, the leading web-based medical management software (and one of the pioneers in SaaS) all found their foundations in Java.<\/p>\n<p>If considering a programming language that will sustain years of productivity and innovation and can demonstrate a history of doing the same, programming professionals should look to Java.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GogoTraining<\/strong> provides the following <a href=\"http:\/\/gogotraining.com\/training\/courses\/index.php#Java\" target=\"_blank\">Java training courses<\/a> taught by industry experts:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Java Programming<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gogotraining.com\/training\/courses\/course.php?id=32\" target=\"_blank\">Introduction to Groovy<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gogotraining.com\/training\/courses\/course.php?id=36\" target=\"_blank\">Introduction to Programming in Java 5 Part 1<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gogotraining.com\/training\/courses\/course.php?id=37\" target=\"_blank\">Introduction to Programming in Java 5 Part 2<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gogotraining.com\/training\/courses\/course.php?id=131\" target=\"_blank\">Programming in Java 6 with Swing and Servlets Part 1<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gogotraining.com\/training\/courses\/course.php?id=136\" target=\"_blank\">Programming in Java 6 with Swing and Servlets Part 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Java EE Training<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/gogotraining.com\/training\/courses\/course.php?id=14\" target=\"_blank\">Developing Java Server Pages (JSPs) using Eclipse and Tomcat<br \/>\nDeveloping Servlets Using Eclipse &amp; Tomcat<br \/>\n<\/a>\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Java Frameworks and Platforms Courses<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gogotraining.com\/training\/courses\/course.php?id=33\" target=\"_blank\">Introduction to Hibernate<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gogotraining.com\/training\/courses\/course.php?id=40\" target=\"_blank\">Introduction to Struts<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gogotraining.com\/training\/courses\/course.php?id=121\" target=\"_blank\">Java Development with JBoss Application Server<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, Java was on the potential down slope as advancement on the language was lacking and developers started investigating languages that would run atop Java environments.\u00a0 Despite the OpenJDK continuing to be attended to and Java tools continuing to grow, Java seemed to be shuffling about with uncertain direction.\u00a0 Now, thanks to a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[27,32,11,24],"class_list":["post-78","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-android","tag-application-development","tag-cloud-computing","tag-java"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gogotraining.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gogotraining.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gogotraining.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gogotraining.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gogotraining.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gogotraining.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80,"href":"https:\/\/gogotraining.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78\/revisions\/80"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gogotraining.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gogotraining.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gogotraining.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
