CHOOSING JAVA VS .NET FOR WEB DEVELOPMENT

CHOOSING JAVA VS .NET FOR WEB DEVELOPMENT

Today, we have a wide range of programming languages which have helped us in creating projects for different purposes. Two major programming languages that have attained a huge amount of success in the recent years are Java and .Net. The Software Development Services Providers have used these two technologies on a very large scale. The field of web development has also been greatly benefited with the introduction of different programming languages.

 

In my article I would like to make you familiar with some exclusive facts about Java and .Net. The Software Development Services offered in the present year mainly involves the features of both these technologies.

 

Java has been exclusively used for carrying out efficient web development. Today, the web services are developed using the Java technology API? and tools which are provided by many integrated Web Services platforms. Various webservice stacks consists of JAX-WS, JAZB and WSIT which enable the programmers to create secure Web Services. JavaScript can actually make your website even more interactive. You can easily use the Java scripts in order to perform different activities such as form validation, browser identification and advertisement management etc. Using Java scripts can help your website feature rich with enhanced features. JavaScript can be easily used with any language that is used for web programming. You can easily use JavaScript to handle all your client side activities. Java also includes Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). This feature allows a website to display its contents without the need of refreshing the web page again and again. It has also been helpful in transferring a large amount of data from the server side to the client side without much delay using XML.

 

On the other hand, ASP.Net programming has also been an immense success in the recent years. It allows the programmers to build dynamic websites, web services and web applications. In order to use the ASP .NET technology you need to have a web server and a .Net framework. The different steps which are involved in creating a simple ASP.NET web page include the following:-

?hoosing and defining the language you wish to use on the framework (like for eg: C# or Visual Basic).

?reating an HTML Form.

?ing this form to the server you wish to use.

?he processing to be carried out on the server side.

 

The web server can either be Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Services) or an Apache 2 .The different Software Development Services offered by the software firms include the features that have helped in completing the projects related to different fields within a very short span of time by using either of the technologies. The Software Development Services offered using these technologies have helped different business firms in achieving their goals within a short period of time. Having an excellent website for your business firm can help you achieve an immense amount of popularity all over the world. I hope by now you might have got an introduction about using Java and .Net for web development.

 

 

 

How to Utilize Open Source Scripts for Application Performance Monitoring

How to Utilize Open Source Scripts for Application Performance Monitoring

 

Here are some steps to use open source Nagios scripts with your Orion Application Performance Monitor.

 

Using open source scripts are a great idea. Why? Because instead of having to spend time creating your own scripts, you can use tried and true ones that already exist. By doing this, you are essentially eliminating the trial and error that comes for writing scripts. Unless you are a script guru, open source is the way to go.

 

Here are some tips, especially in terms of Orions’ Application Performance Management, that will allow you to get the right scripts implemented – fast. In this case, let’s say for example purposes that we are attempting to analyze the performance of a MySQL database on a Linux server.

 

Leverage Google. Search for a script that does what you need it to do, and be detailed in your query. You may be surprised by what you find since the open source community is very large and dedicated to all things Linux.
Decide which script fits what you are trying to do and download it.
Place the script in /usr/local/bin on the Linux server where MySQL is installed.
Go into your Application Performance Monitor and add a new template for what you want to do. You can do this by choosing Settings – Create New Application Monitor Template.
Name your template, and then at the bottom click Add a Component. A drop down will appear. Under Network Service / Port Monitors select Linux/Unix Script Monitor.
Once you have added the component, don’t forget that you need to specify credentials so that the script has access.
Remote into the server where Orion is installed. Navigate to the directory where Orion resides. Under the /APM/ directory. You will find some sample scripts. Open the Nagios script that this in this folder, and copy the contents.
In the Orion APM software, expand out the Linux/Unix Script Monitor header and paste the text into the Script Body field.
In the Command line field, enter in the path to the script that you are using.
Almost there. You now can also change your thresholds in the minimum and maximum fields. Once you have done this, go ahead and click submit.
Now you have a template that utilizes your Nagois script.

 

I hope that you have found these steps helpful. Go ahead and take a look at this clip called Leveraging Your Open Source Nagios Scripts, which has step by step video instructions on how to properly configure this. Don’t forget that if you aren’t currently using Orion that you can download a free thirty day trial to see if you can use it to monitor your network’s applications.
