i guess because every few people can program java, and it's covered in other forum in Design & Development/programing/java scripts so the real question is, why have you been a member for 6 months and have almost 1000 posts, and not seen all that DP has on offer? like the java forum
Java and Javascript aren't the same thing. I believe the reason is that most webmaster do not use Java, use it a little bit, and there are very few hosting services that support this technology, which as expensive or more than Windows Servers.
In my opinion, Java is quite bloated in only has limited usability. It is the kind of thing that makes sense for certain specific projects, but it isn't really a good idea to have Java all over a high-traffic website (or a website that is attempting to garner heavy traffic). It is bad for the server and visitor alike.
ah yes so sorry i didn't realize he was talking about a coffee forum, silly me. maybe the java scripts forum can be used for talking about other java products too like coffee thread can be closed now i guess
But i think you should give a place to Java. There are Java programmers here, I guess that Google search engine and all other Google services are written in Java. Are they?
Ok, if you consider Java as spam you may now close this thread. I just wanted to start this because I'm a Java web component developer and found no forum to discuss my issues. Thanks for all your replies.
