Why would or does a computer user want or need Java?
ANS: Through the coupling of Java to the web server, the Java platform has become a leading platform for integrating the Web with enterprise back-end systems. This has allowed companies to move part or all of their business to the Internet environment by way of highly interactive online environments (such as highly dynamic websites) that allow the customer direct access to the business processes (e.g. online banking websites, airline booking systems and so on). This trend has continued from its initial Web-based start.
