Forrester and Java

As promised, the continuation of stories from Forrester and Java. Just want to say that Microsoft has nothing to do with, to move to. NET analyst at Forrester does not call, and generally, if think about it, there it is not about Java:).
Actually, the story began with a post with the provocative title of Forrester 's blog '. Java is a dead-end for enterprise development. '- Anyone can read.

The post was of great interest and became the most widely read at Forrester in 2010. And the theme itself, and give a fair title ' yellow ', but what if the reader is attracted by such catchy slogans, but for the boring reports and arguments no one desires to pay the money.

And in continuation of the theme was. teleconference. to have more streamlined name in the form of rhetorical question. Those interested can register again and download the slides, and I will explain briefly struck me moments.

After a historical introduction and a story about dinosaurs set out advantages and disadvantages of Java, including an excessive number of different frameworks and a number of failed and forgotten projects such as JavaFX.

There is a good phrase - 'Java has reached the status of Kobol in the enterprise'. Screwing it 'll go right for the veteran IT - oh, this guy even remembers Cobol!.

After the presentation of user requirements (briefly expressed by the phrase ' so it was yesterday '), the analyst finally goes to the alternatives.

It would seem that the climax, we are interested - in what he proposes to replace the Java c its a bunch of libraries, and left open- Source frameworks? .

Instead of fighting begins a strange but interesting action. To begin with the analyst describes the limits of applicability of the approach that it will offer - a Business Process Management, Business Intelligence, Enterprise Data Intergration and others. And then says that for these purposes instead of developing in Java is better to use a diverse set of products.

At this point you begin to understand how cleverly built presentation. We were expecting something XX ( ' hardcore holivar '), and we explain that for certain purposes it is better not to write your software, take a third-party software. So I want to say - and then the guys do not know.

But well, what can I say - hot headline attracted a wide audience of programmers and all have reduced the capital to explain the truth - for many tasks much more economical and faster to use the finished product. Well reklamku small for these products gave much the same without this.

For those who do not understand at once, at the end of the presentation set out the recommendations of analysts Forrester.
In this case, the recommendation number 1 looks like this: 'If you are successfully using Java, then continue to use it '.

The rest can not read:).
