J2EE’s Strengths and Weaknesses
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper discussing the emerging industry standard of J2EE, led by Sun Microsystems in development but contributed to by most industry leaders. Thanks to the advent of web services, XML and standard web protocols, the inability of organizations to communicate meaningfully and effectively now truly can be a thing of the past. The next – current – generation of web services evolution appears to be seen in J2EE, Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. The common protocols that have existed in the past and continue to be integral to web services have been useful to the degree that they have blazed the trail to interoperability and compatibility, but J2EE and its counterpart, Microsoft.NET, are seen as bringing web services to the next level.

Java as a Technology used in the Development of Web-Based Applications or a Cross-Platform Programming Language
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing Java as a Web-based application tool and as a cross-platform programming language. When Sun Microsystems first introduced Java it was considered a “cross-platform programming language” in which the introduction of such a tool could “level the Intel/Microsoft playing field by lowering the cost of application development”. Among other things however, Java is essentially considered as “Sun’s cross-platform application development language for Internet applications” which is why it is often considered as a development tool for Web-based applications. While Java clients were attracted by the low costs associated with adopting the Java platform, what really appealed to developers was the lack of the administration required to adopt the platform in that the language could be easily incorporated within existing HTML web pages to provide more robust interactive features and applications. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Linux
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Linux was created in 1991 by Linus Benedict Torvalds, a twenty-one-year-old Finn who was attending the University of Helsinki.
