Dr. Bill Brogden is always cooking up new and interesting applications for this ragingly popular programming language we call JAVA. Java programming was originally developed by James Gosling who worked for Sun Microsystems and was released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java programming language is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.

Here are a few examples of it's application and uses from Dr Bill Brogden's java showcase which shows a variety of different Java Applets and includes several java test engines and java exam test questions.

Java Samples

Fun with Phonetic Match

An applet illustrating the use of the MetaPhone phonetic match system. This is an improvement over the Soundex system for encoding the sound of English words. Potential uses include searching for names in databases where the exact spelling is not known.

Animation

The animated Baseball game as used at the InstantSports site. Preserved here in a single game demo.
