my team is engaged in the development of a software package in 100% pure
java for book distribution and retailing enterprise. java is as good or
better than any other language/tool for creating enterprise solutions
especially because of its platform independence and netwok capability.
and from a managers point to view with a given expertise you can
produce a better quality app in a shorter period thanks to the inherent
qualities of java.
substantial cost reduction is possible on 'software infrastructure' if an
enterprise decides to run their operation on linux.
another interesting aspect is both java and linux come free!
comment on it!
cheers
