5 Reasons Why Java Is Amazing

Java Logo Oracle

Java as language and as platform is an amazing ecosystem for developing and running application. As a language, it is fully Object oriented, fully static typed and incredible consistent in the language design. As a platform, it is big run time environment, supports many incredible cool feature like threading, garbage collection, and of course cross platform.

1. Threading

With threading you can continue working on something and let the process running on the background, so your work can be done while other process can also work simultaneously.

2. Garbage Collection

Managing memories running in our computer system is not an easy task, and it should be done by the system, not by us. Java can detect which block of memories that our program doesn't need it anymore and remove it.

3. Cross-platform

There are 3 major operating system in the PC market, also Android and IOS on mobile phone, writing to that is not a good approach and time consuming. Java compiled program actually can be run on those device with just single base code.

4. So many libraries

What kind of application you usually build? web application, there is Spring framework, and lot of others. From JSON parsing, logging, testing, to complex AI things are exists on the Java community library, just search it online you will find them.

5. Maven

Build tools can ease our work, managing  libraries just as simple as adding <dependency>LibraryYouNeed</dependency> to your pom.xml. Also debuging, testing, compiling and deploying our program can be done by the help of Maven. Many plugins though.

Literally just a single code base, you can shipped your application to almost any operating system and devices. So Java is one big amazing product. Also support from many development tools, my favorite is Intellij by Jetbrains, it so smart, probably the smartest IDE the world have. You can do database integration, code completion, refactoring and supports for many framework and libraries.

Some say Java is dying, but those rumors has going around since the Java One, and there is no indication of it's declined. This ecosystem just become mature and prefect. Many new library come, and some old still being maintained, don't worry about it's future, it will still be there, as long as computer exist.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to...

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab. Look for the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin, then install and activate it. 2. Create a New Spring Boot Project: After restarting Netbeans IDE, you can create a new project with Spring Boot. Go to File > New Project. Under Categories, select Maven, then choose "Spring Boot Basic." 3. Add Dependencies: With your new project created, open the po...

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
