Analysis and development

of information systems
The Java programming language was originally developed by James
Gosling of Sun Microsystems (which was acquired by the Oracle company)
and published in 1995 as a fundamental component of the Sun Microsystems
Java platform. Its syntax derives largely from C and C ++, but it has
fewer low-level utilities than any of them. Java applications are usually compiled
into bytecode (Java class) that can run on any Java virtual machine
(JVM) regardless of the architecture of the underlying computer.
.NET is a Microsoft framework that emphasizes the
transparency of networks, regardless of the hardware
platform and allows rapid development of applications.
Based on it, the company tries to develop a horizontal
strategy that integrates all its products, from the
operating system to the market tools.
.NET could be considered a response from Microsoft to the
growing business market in Web environments, such as
competition to Oracle Corporation's Java platform and the
various PHP-based web development frameworks. Its
proposal is to offer a fast and economical way, at the same
time as safe and robust, to develop applications -or as the
same platform calls them, solutions- allowing a faster and
more agile integration between companies and a simpler
and more universal access to all type of information from
any type of device.
Both PHP and Java, are predominant and integral to the modern web; and,
since they can be used to achieve some of the same tasks, there may not
be two languages that encourage so much debate about their relative
strengths and weaknesses. In terms of results or efficiency, both have the
best references because they have been used to support some of the
largest and most profitable websites in the world.
