Java web application development

Websites are essentially just a collection of static pages hosted on the web, but the ability to interact with content is provided by web applications to users.

It is with their help that a person can fill out forms, make a purchase of goods, create a personal account and perform other interactive actions.

Web applications have many benefits:

• They do not need to be installed on a smartphone and computer.
• They do not require updating, since all changes to them are made centrally.
• You can use this software from any device with a browser.
• Independent of operating systems.

Technically, such applications consist of two main parts. Firstly, it is the client side – the one that is loaded in the browser and which is directly seen by the end user and can interact with it. The second part is the server side. As the name implies, it is located on a web server and is engaged in processing client requests and generating responses.

There are many programming languages ​​in which the back-end of a web project can be written, including Python and PHP, but one of the most popular of them is Java.

AVADA-MEDIA has a whole department of professional Java developers and can implement projects of any complexity in this language.

Java is a high-level general-purpose programming language that has been around for over 20 years. It is used in the projects of large companies such as Spotify, Amazon, Linkedin, Uber, Netflix and traditionally occupies a leading position in the list of the most widespread technologies in the world.

Java is a multifaceted programming language that is used to create mobile applications for the Android operating system, websites, web applications and many other software products. Here are a few reasons why this technology is so popular.

backward compatibility

Java is, first of all, stability. The technology is constantly evolving and updating, but at the same time, projects written in earlier versions of the language continue to work stably due to full backward compatibility. This feature makes Java a good choice for developing large and long-term web applications.

Cross-platform

Programs written in the Java language are platform independent, not only at the source code level, but also at the binary level. This means that they can be run on different operating systems without any additional adjustments, which is especially important for web projects and applications.

Developed community

Java is used by millions of developers around the world. This means that there will never be any difficulties in finding competent personnel for the development and support of the project. On the other hand, when implementing non-standard functionality, programmers may have difficulties. In this case, they can turn to the community and quickly find a solution to the problem, which greatly speeds up the process of technical development of the project.

Availability of ready-made tools

Another significant advantage of Java is the existence of a huge number of ready-made libraries and frameworks. This means that to implement typical tasks, programmers can use parts of ready-made code that are guaranteed to work, which positively affects the speed of project creation and reduces development costs.

Security

Java is a good choice in terms of security. It is equipped with a built-in “Security Manager” tool that reduces the vulnerability of the code by setting clear rules for accessing databases.

One of the priority areas of development in Java is the creation of Internet projects. Their development is carried out in several stages, consider the main ones:

• Analysis. First of all, specialists determine the goals and objectives of the future software, after which tasks for technical specialists are formed.
• Design. Since the web application will be used by ordinary people, not developers, it is important to create a user-friendly and intuitive interface. This work is done by UX designers.
• Front end development. At this stage, the client part of the web application is formed, with which end users will interact.

• Back-end development. The server part is the internal part of the software product, which is hidden from the user. It acts as the “brain” of the entire project and processes client requests.
• Testing. When the product is ready, it is transferred to the QA department for quality control. As part of testing, specialists not only identify bugs, but also control that the project fully complies with the original plans and solves the tasks assigned to it.
• Support. After deploying a web application, its development does not end, because as the business and its needs grow, the software product also needs to be improved.

Java is often the technology of choice for implementing web applications and websites, and for a variety of reasons. However, each business has its own peculiarities and nuances, so AVADA-MEDIA specialists always select the current technology stack for each product individually in order to achieve the greatest efficiency in given conditions.

We have been working in the market of innovative solutions for more than 10 years, and we have all the necessary knowledge and experience to turn the most ambitious goals, projects and tasks into reality.
