The Elegushi Royal Family has revealed its plan for the establishment of a $300 million new Imperial International Business City (IIBC). The new 200 hectare city will be built on reclaimed Lagoon extension of the kingdom and will also be the first eco-friendly smart business city in Africa.
The Elegushi of Ikate Kingdom, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi laid out his vision about the city in his palace while receiving some American investors interested in the project. He said the idea of a smart business city will address the perennial housing deficit in Lagos state and also change the landscape of real estate in Africa.
The project which is a Joint-Venture between the Royal Family and Channeldrill Resources Limited will commence in April 2016 with land reclamation. According to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Channeldrill, Mr. Femi Akioye, the project will be executed by some of the best drilling and architectural companies in the world.

What you can do if you study Java; Uses of Java.

#copyright: Javin
#Java is easy.

I have been studying HTML, c++ and Java. I would like to continue from my first post about Java schooling. I think I'm ready to tell you about the uses of java. You should k ow if you're interested.

If you are a beginner and just started learning Java, you might be thinking where exactly Java is used? You don't see many games written in Java except Minecraft, desktop tools like Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Office are not written in Java, neither is your operating systems like Linuxor Windows, so where exactly people use Java?
Does it have any real-world application or not? Well, you are not alone, many programmers ask this question before starting with Java, or after picking Java is one of the programming language of choice at graduate level. By the way, you can get a clue of where Java is used by installing Java at your desktop, Oracle saysmore than 3 billion devices run Java, that's huge number, isn't it? Most major companies use Java in one way or other.
       Many server side applications are written in Java to process tens of millions of requests per day, high frequency trading applications are also written in Java e.g. LMAX trading applications, which is built over their path breaking inter-thread communication library,Disruptor. In this article, we will see more precisely, what kind of projects are done in Java, which domain or sector Java is dominating and where exactly Java is useful in real-world?
Real World Java Applications
     There are many places where Java is used in real world, starting from commercial e-commerce website to android apps, from scientific application to financial applications like electronic trading systems, from games like Minecraft to desktop applications like Eclipse, Netbeans and IntelliJ, from open source library to J2ME apps etc. Let's see each of them in more detail.1)
 Android Apps
If you want to see where Java is used, you are not too far away. Open your Android phone and any app, they are actually written in Java programming language, with Google's Android API, which is similar to JDK. Couple of years back Android has provided much needed boost and today many Java programmer are Android App developer. By the way android uses different JVM and different packaging, as we have seen in our previous article abouthow Android app works, but code is still written in Java.
2) Server Apps at Financial Services Industry
Java is very big in Financial Services. Lots of global Investment banks like Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Barclays, Standard Charted and other banks use Java for writing front and back office electronic trading system, writing settlement and confirmation systems, data processing projects and several others. Java is mostly used to write server side application, mostly without any front end, which receives data form one server (upstream), process it and sends it other process (downstream). Java Swing was also popular for creating thick client GUIs for traders, but now C# is quickly gaining market share on that space and Swing is out of its breath.

3) Java Web applications
Java is also big on E commerce and web application space. You have a lot of  RESTfull services being created using Spring MVC, Struts 2.0 and similar frameworks. Even simple Servlet, JSP and Struts based web applications are quite popular on various government projects. Many of government, healthcare, insurance, education, defense and several other department have their web application built in Java.

4) Software Tools
Many useful software and development tools are written and developed in Java e.g. Eclipse, InetelliJ Idea and Netbans IDE.I think they are also most used desktop applications written in Java. Though there was time when Swing was very popular to write thick client, mostly in financial service sector and Investment banks. Now days, Java FX is gaining popularity but still it is not a replacement of Swing and C# has almost replaced Swing in Finance domain.

5) Trading Application.
Third party trading application, which is also part of bigger financial services industry, also use Java. Popular trading application likeMurex, which is used in many banks for front to bank connectivity, is also written in Java.
6) J2ME APPS
Though advent of iOS and Android almost killed J2ME market, but still there is large market of low end Nokia and Samsung handset which uses J2ME. There was time when almost all games, application, which is available in Android are written usingMIDPandCLDC, part of J2ME platform. J2ME is still popular on products like Blu-ray, Cards, Set top boxes etc. One of the reason ofWhatsAppbeing so popular isbecause it is also available in J2ME for all those Nokia handset which is still quite big.

7) Embedded Space
Java is also big in the embedded space. It shows how capable the platform is, you only need 130 KB to be able to use Java technology (on a smart card or sensor). Originally Java was designed for embedded devices. In fact, this is the one area, which was part of Java's initial campaign of "write once, run anywhere" and looks like it is paying up now.

8) Big Data technologies
Hadoopand other big data technologies are also using Java in one way or other e.g.Apache's Java-basedHBaseandAccumulo(open source), andElasticSearchas well. By the Java is not dominating this space, as there are technologies likeMongoDBwhich is written in C++. Java has potential to get major share on this growing space ifHadooporElasticSearchgoes big.

9) High Frequency Trading Space
Java platform has improved its performance characteristics a lot and with modern JITs, its capable of delivering performance at C++ level. Due to this reason, Java is also popular on writing highperformance systems, because Though performance is little less compared to native language, but you can compromise safety, portability and maintainability for more speed and it only takes one inexperienced C++ programmer to make an application slow and unreliable.10) Scientific ApplicationsNowadays Java is often a default choice for scientific applications, including naturallanguage processing. Main reason of this isbecause Java is more safe, portable, maintainable and comes with better high-level concurrency tools than C++ or any other language.In 1990s Java was quite big on Internet due to Applet, but over the years, Applet's lost its popularity, mainly due to various security issues on Applet's sand boxing model. Today desktop Java and Applets is almost dead. Java is by default Software industries darling application development language, and given its heavy usage in financial services industry, Investment banks and E-commerce web application space, any one learning Java has bright future ahead of him.

Java 8 has only reinforced the belief that Java will continuing dominating software development space for years to come.

HTML lesson; Begin Markup

Well guys, I want you to know one thing. HTML isn't a programming language. It is a markup language for the web. That known let's begin.

You see this blog post you are reading now? It isn't just typed with Notepad or Microsoft word. It is written with HTML and this is what I want you to know apart from the jokes I also write cos with this knowledge, you can make HTML games and make web applications.

STEP 1
The BASICS.

HTML is and acronym( stands for) ' HYPERTEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE '. It is what is used to power this blog alongside all the pages on the internet. This blog however uses the simplest form of HTML because it is part of the free basics program and needs to be able to work on browsers that are not new, that is not modern or made a long time ago and cannot support all websites.

To begin with HTML, you must have a text editor like notepad on your computer. HTML often begins with a tag <html>. Whatever is in that tag is displayed in the web page. However, it still a closing tag and that is </html>. HTML has very many tags. I would show you more on my next HTML post.

See these websites I have used simple HTML and CSS to create at
Designer and
Playbot

Be happy till next time.

This brief conversation ensued between Akpos and his landlord… LANDLORD: (knocks at Akpos door) AKPOS: (Opens the door) LANDLORD: Hey man, I’m looking for my house rent? AKPOS: You can come in let’s look for it together.

Jokes and all the way up

Akpos recently shared the following views at a public forum: When Nigerian politicians loot public funds/money from Nigeria, they keep it in Switzerland. When sick, they go to Germany or India. When investing, they go to America. When buying Mansions, they visit London. When shopping they go to Dubai. When on holidays, they visit Paris or Bahamas. When educating their children, they select Europe. When praying, they go to Saudi Arabia or Jerusalem. BUT, when they DIE, they all want to be BURIED in Nigeria! Please, ask them for me, is NiGERIA A CEMETERY?
