I'm a computer engineer and my job is Java programmer. I use Java both for web programming, in combination with the Struts framework, both for client programming with GUI. What about you?

I use Java especially for web programming, with Struts. In the past I developed also multithreaded server applications, applets, and standalone applications. But I think Java is better for server programming than client programming.

The good in Java client programming is the portability. In my office we develop some Java clients and we have to pay a lot of attention to performance.

Me too a computer engineer, working as a Java programmer on J2ME and J2EE framework. Our most of the work is focused on Web-Development, and Web-enabled services.

In my company Java is mainly used for client development so we use J2SE. Server applications are mainly in C/C++ for perfomance issues.

this is an open issue... our server services are in C/C++ because they were developed in those languages at their time, but it's undeniable that some Java features cause performance problems... we develop mission critical services for banks and online trading. However I am a client developer so I don't know all the particulars. Bye

Can I know those issues which affects performance ..as just stated that you use C/C++ for servers based tasks for performance issues..?? I thinks JAVA is the best suited language for the performance and security measures

I had Java installed on my personal computer to use for downloads of video or other applications -- but I am recently getting into making my own website and Java is a must for this activity. I'm learning as I go - it's a bunch of trial and error, but at least when I'm done with my site I should know how to run it and repair any problems (hopefully) that crop up.

I've done J2ME for mobile apps, J2SE for Swing based desktop applications and file parsing utilities. Only a little J2EE for server & PHP integration.

I'd like very much to use J2EE and J2ME constantly but we are focused on Java Swing client programming

It seems like my society is the only one to produce Java clients... our activity in web programming is very low.

yeah java is used to create applications that can run on a single computer as well as distributed network.i use it for both distributed and as well as stand alone applications.
