Java Magazine, Jan/Feb 2017
ORACLE COM JAVAMAGAZINE JANUARY FEBRUARY 2017 04 from the editor I should note that the Java community has responded to Node with an excellent framework Vert x that provides all the former frameworks capabilities and more and is rapidly gaining adherents One of its appealing aspects is represented by the x in its name which is a direct counterpoint to the js in Nodes original name While Node is a JavaScript framework the x in Vert x signifies support for many languages Here again we see the advent of polyglot programming Oracle employs tens of thousands of developers and interacts with millions more The companys considered opinion is that the polyglot trend is real enduring and important Underlying this conviction is the belief that the cloud will hasten the adoption of multiple languages due to the ease of setting up and testing out different stacks and different toolchains in the cloud With this in mind the company has asked me whether Java Magazine should broaden its mission to cover polyglot programming primarily via the addition of coverage of JavaScript It might seem odd to consider this step for a publication with Java in the name But lets put aside the issue of the name for a moment Looking at the last two years we have regularly covered other JVM languages In this sense weve already had a regular taste of polyglot coverage in our pages But the question Ive been asked involves a deeper commitment to the polyglot reality more than just JVM languages Should we add regular coverage of JavaScript As my job is to serve you Id like your opinion Would you like to see the addition of tutorials perhaps morphing into regular coverage of JavaScript in the magazine The guidance Im specifically looking for is how much JavaScript coverage would help you in your programming work Feel free to say absolutely none or lots of it or anything in between And please include any further thoughts as well as any recommendations you have on the current mix of articles you find in our pages Andrew Binstock Editor in Chief javamag_ us@ oracle com @ platypusguy Register Now Oracle Code New One Day Free Event 20 Cities Globally Explore the Latest Developer Trends DevOps Containers Microservices APIs MySQL NoSQL Oracle Open Source Databases Development Tools Low Code Platforms Open Source Technologies Machine Learning Chatbots AI Find an event near you developer oracle com code
