Key Differences Between Java vs. JavaScript

To put it simply, Java is just a more advanced programming language than JavaScript. If you have never programmed before, or are a relative novice to programming, you should probably try to learn JavaScript first, keeping in mind that some browsers that can read and run Java programs may not be able to understand JavaScript programs. JavaScript is a simple text language. You write the code, plug it into your HTML document and you’re good to go. If you need to make changes, then just get into the code and rewrite it. Java requires writing the code in machine language, then compile it so that it fits into the HTML document. Any changes require rewriting and recompiling.

Why Choose Java vs. JavaScript?

So if Java is so much more complicated, then why use it? Well, you may notice that you have never gone online and found a JavaScript applet. That’s because there is no such thing. In contrast to Java, JavaScript is not capable of any standalone programming. JavaScript only works as part of overarching HTML code. This makes your options much less flexible when it comes to what you can do with a JavaScript program.

What You Can Do With Java

With Java, you can create stand-alone programs and applets, which means you have much more flexibility. Java allows you to write just about any kind of small program that you need. You can also stick it just about anywhere in an HTML document because it is not actually a part of the document. This is why you will usually see more sophisticated programmers working with Java instead of JavaScript

Benefits to JavaScript

This doesn’t mean you should give up on JavaScript entirely. Some programs work well as part of an HTML document and you can still create valuable programs with JavaScript. You can also adjust these programs more easily, so if you have a project that may require some fine-tuning, JavaScript may be a better option. It is also an appealing option for those with less programming experience.

JSP website hosting

Almost every professional sites now a days are made with dynamic content. All pages are dynamic in nature. That is why now a days most web hosting companies are offering java web hosting packages which gives full support to their site. Their server technologies like Servlets, Java Server Pages (JSP), Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) and XML are very advanced then the usual what you get in cheap web hosting solutions.

Content sliders are are great way to add some interactive elements to your website without losing content in flash based files.

You can create some really great effect and here is a list of some of our favourites;

DHTML Featured Content Slider 2.4

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/featuredcontentslider.htm

Offers a simple slider that fades between each area, this script allows you to also set autoscroll, works well in creating a small gallery too.

Featured Content Slider

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/featuredcontentglider.htm

This is one of our favourites and you could see it working really well as a news slider, the effect is really easy on the eye sliding each panel in above the last. Looks great!

Coda Slider

http://www.ndoherty.com/demos/coda-slider/1.1.1/#1

Originally the basis for our company website, Coda Slide will slide content in to the DIV from right to left with a seamless motion effect. You can also set links from within the page to slide the content across. After trying out this script and alterations we found the only downside was trying to use the script with a width of 100%, this caused a bug for us and simply would not work at 100% so we moved on to the next one…

jFlow 1.0

http://www.gimiti.com/kltan/wordpress/?p=32

So here is the script we used to create the sliding effect of our company website, the slider can be set as a fluid width, perfect to slide the content across a whole page.

jFlow is super lightweight because it is only 1.9kb minified!

jQuery.ScrollTo

http://www.freewebs.com/flesler/jQuery.ScrollTo/

A slightly different type of scroller that will glide across to different areas of a grid that are all made up with HTML rather than just from left to right.

Also be sure to try out the Table of contents box links at the top for a great way to scroll the page.

jQuery.SerialScroll

http://flesler.webs.com/jQuery.SerialScroll/

3 great examples on how the jquery serial scroll can be used.

MooTools Interval Slider

http://www.stoutlabs.com/site/post/mootools_content_slider_with_intervals/

Great for auto scrolling content with an excellent fade in effect.

Accessible News Slider
