Top 15 Mobile And Web Applications Built On Java

Java is a high-level, independent, object-oriented programing language developed by Sun Microsystems and designed by James Gosling nearly 25 years ago in 1995. Java is the most popular and most used programming language to design and develop web and mobile applications that may run on a single device or be distributed among servers and clients in a network.

Java was initially designed to replace C++ programming language since its simpler and easier to use the additional feature of object oriented functionality made it a major hit amongst web developers ever since its inception. Since then innumerable and popular Java mobile applications have been designed and used all over the world.

As per a report from SlashData, there are now 7.6 million developers in the world who code using Java and this number is only growing leaps and bounds every quarter. Another report from TIOBE Programming Community Index 2020, which is the indicator of the popularity of programming languages, states that Java stands at numero dos.

Java script mobile applications are used for web, desktops, mobiles, enterprise servers and many more as its one of the most robust and powerful programming languages which helps in creation of the most interactive and user friendly applications and websites.

Java simply works on the concept of class and object. Every program has at least one class and object; i.e. data and behavior respectively. When the program designing and conception is broken down into such simple and clean terms, the programming automatically becomes an intriguing and easy job for any developer.
