Language advocacy is a popular pastime with many programmers, but what many fail to realize is that programming languages are like tools: each is good at some things and next to useless at others. Java, inspired as it was by prior art like C and Smalltalk, sports a solid general-purpose syntax that gets the job done with the minimum of fuss in the majority of cases. Unfortunately, there will always be those areas that, by their very nature, demand something a little more specialized.

New VE technologies impose a significant learn­ ing curve to even the most experienced VE developer. The proposed solution relies on synthesis to automate the migration of a VE application to a new unfamiliar VE platform/technology.

    Comparative Studies of 10 Programming Languages within 10 Diverse Criteria Revision 1.0 Rana Naim∗ Mohammad Fahim Nizam† Concordia University Montreal, Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada Quebec, Canada [email protected] [email protected] Sheetal Hanamasagar‡ Jalal Noureddine§ Concordia University Montreal, Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada Quebec, Canada [email protected] [email protected] Marinela Miladinova¶ Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada [email protected] Abstract This is a survey on the programming languages: C++, JavaScript, AspectJ, C#, Haskell, Java, PHP, Scala, Scheme, and BPEL. Our survey work involves a comparative study of these ten programming languages with respect to the following criteria: secure programming practices, web application development, web service composition, OOP-based abstractions, reflection, aspect orientation, functional programming, declarative programming, batch scripting, and UI prototyping. We study these languages in the context of the above mentioned criteria and the level of support they provide for each one of them. Keywords: programming languages, programming paradigms, language features, language design and implementation 1 Introduction Choosing the best language that would satisfy all requirements for the given problem domain can be a difficult task. Some languages are better suited for specific applications than others. In order to select the proper one for the specific problem domain, one has to know what features it provides to support the requirements. Different languages support different paradigms, provide different abstractions, and have different levels of expressive power. Some are better suited to express algorithms and others are targeting the non-technical users. The question is then what is the best tool for a particular problem.

    Oracle-Regular / Introducing JavaFX 8 Programming / Herb Schildt / 255-1 / Blind folio: 1 CHAPTER 1 JavaFX Fundamentals 01-ch01.indd 1 20/05/15 6:17 PM Oracle-Regular / Introducing JavaFX 8 Programming / Herb Schildt / 255-1 2 Introducing JavaFX 8 Programming n today’s computing environment the user interface is a key factor in determining a program’s success or failure. The reasons for this are easy to understand. First, Ithe look and feel of a program defines the initial user experience. Thus, it forms the user’s first impression—and first impressions matter because they often become lasting impressions. Second, the user interface is the way in which a user interacts with a program each time it is used. Therefore, the overall quality of a program is judged, in part, by the usability and appeal of its interface. To be successful, a user interface must be convenient, well organized, and consistent. It must also have one thing more: that “visual sparkle” that users have come to expect. For today’s Java programmer, JavaFX is the best way to provide such interfaces. JavaFX is a collection of classes and interfaces that defines Java’s modern graphical user interface (GUI). It can be used to create the types of GUIs demanded by rich client applications in the contemporary marketplace. JavaFX supplies a diverse set of controls, such as buttons, scroll panes, text fields, check boxes, trees, and tables, that can be tailored to fit nearly any application. Furthermore, effects, transforms, and animation can be employed to enhance the visual appeal of the controls.
