New and improved software development tools are coming to market at a remarkable pace, displacing incumbent products once thought to be indispensable. Also, Javascript only runs on web browsers while Java can be run anywhere. Javascript does not need to be compiled, while Java code does need to be compiled. It's also important to understand that Java is much different from JavaScript. When the language was invented in 1991 by James Gosling of Sun Microsystems (later acquired by Oracle), the primary goal was to be able to 'write once, run anywhere.' Once you have written code for a Java program on a notebook computer, it is very easy to move the code to a mobile device. One major advantage of developing software with Java is its portability. The rules and syntax of Java are based on the C and C++ languages. Java is a widely used object-oriented programming language and software platform that runs on billions of devices, including notebook computers, mobile devices, gaming consoles, medical devices and many others.
