Many of the other people think JAVA to be nearly three decades old. But Java did not stop in the 90s, it started evolving. Java is the most powerful and dominant programming language since its birth and until today in the 2020 century. Many of the frameworks like Scalar, Hadoop, spark, and all the other major big data frameworks use Java. One of the major operating systems like android uses Java too.

A little summarized theory of people's perspective about Java...
Many of the other people think JAVA to be nearly three decades old. But Java did not stop in the 90s, it started evolving. Java is the most powerful and dominant programming language since its birth and until today in the 2020 century. Many of the frameworks like Scalar, Hadoop, spark, and all the other major big data frameworks use Java. One of the major operating systems like android uses Java too.

Who uses Java?

Multiple million-dollar companies that use Java, a few of these companies are Netflix, AMD, Uber, Amazon, Google, Pinterest, Facebook, Spotify, and Instagram. Java also uses for big data analytics. Most of the big data frameworks like Hadoop, Hive, Flink, and Spark are written in Java.

What about use in AI? There are a lot of misconceptions that R & Python are only the programming languages that can be utilized for AI or Data Science but this is not true. Java enables us to execute and run the algorithms and programs for Artificial Intelligence or Data Science.

Why Use Java?

Now we will explain some major features of java that will make it more friendly than other languages...

• Open Source
• High Performance
• Multithreaded
• Secured
• Platform independent
• Portable
• Object-Oriented
• Robust

A) Open Source:

Java is an open-source product since its birth till today. It has open-sourced all of its significant commercial features that were previously available only to paid customers that include Application class data sharing, Java flight recorder, Java mission control, and Z garbage collector. Oracle bills and open JDK bills at this point are interchangeable means that you can switch from one to another as you wish.

B) High Performance:

As you know java is an interpreted language but not a compiled language like C or C++, that's why it will never be as fast as C or C++. But here is the bonus point that we can achieve high performance with its Just-in-time compiler.

C) Multithreading:

Java highly supports multithreading. It means we can write such programs that can do multiple tasks simultaneously. The bonus point of Multithreading is that it uses the same memory and other recourses while executing more than one threads like if we are typing then dramatical errors will be checked along.

D)Secured:

If we are talking about a secured language, then we must choose "java" firstly. Java makes our programs wireless free & temper free with its dominant security features. The Java programs always run in a Java Run-Time environment that has zero interactions with your operating system.

E) Platform Independence:

Unlike the other programming languages such as C, C++, which are compiled into platform-specific machines, Java is guaranteed to be written once run anywhere language. On compilation, the Java program is compiled into bytecode. This bytecode is platform-independent and can be run on any machine. A machine having a Java-Run-Time environment can run java programs independently.

F) Portability:

The cross-platform feature enables the Java code to be highly portable.

G) Object-Oriented:

In java, everything is an object which has some data and behavior. As there are object-based models in this language that's why it is easy to be extended.

H) Robust:

Java makes an effort to make an error-prone code by emphasizing mainly compile-time error checking and run-time error checking. By introducing an automatic garbage collector and exception handling Java improved the main areas such as memory management and mishandled exceptions.

As the latest stats of indeed, there is a huge demand for java developers for both freshers and experienced and its demand is on the top leaving the other programming languages like Python and C# far behind.

Java Developers Salary

Let's overview of the salary trends of Java developers in different countries...

India:

For fresher and entry-level Java developers the salary trends lie between ₹400,000 and ₹500,000 per anum. On the other side for the experienced level Java developers the salary lies between ₹1,000,000 to ₹2,500,000 per anum.

United Kingdom:

For the entry-level developer, the salary lies between 25,000 pounds 30,000 pounds per year. On the other hand, for the experienced level developer, the salary lies between 55,000 pounds to 80,000 pounds per anum.

United States:

For the entry-level developer, the salary lies between $55,000 to $75,000 per year. On the other hand, for experienced level developer United states of America Pays salary between $90,000 to $125,000 per anum as the salary.
