Why Java

At Cake Solutions, we have been using Java for quite a few years. Recently, I had to formulate why our customers should chose Java over other languages. It was easy to come up with geeky reasons, but purely technical reasons on their own are not enough. It turns out that modern Java EE applications are successful, interesting and exciting because of all the tools we have in the Java world–it boils down to the fact that I believe that a lot of the innovation we see in contemporary computing runs on the JVM and with JDK 1.7, we should see even more exciting developments.
In the meantime, download the Why Java PDF, where I try to explain why you should use JVM-based platform over anything else.
