THE BATTLE FOR
Web services supremacy between the Java and Microsoft .Net camps is far from over, according to a survey released this week.
The Evans Data's North American Developer survey, the results of which were announced this week, found that the battle for
Web services technical standards is undecided at this point The more than 600 developers surveyed virtually split on development plans for Java and .Net. The survey, completed in September, found that 40 percent are developing applications for .Net now but 63 percent will target .Net in a year, while 51 percent develop for Java today and 61 percent plan to do so next year.
Web services adoption, meanwhile, will jump from 57 percent now to 87 percent in 2003, according to the survey findings.
Some 43 percent of developers are either currently deploying
Web services applications or expect to in the next six months. Internal
Web services applications are the focus for developers in the initial phase.
Obstacles to
Web services deployments include end-to-end
security, noted in 24 percent of responses; ambiguity in standards, cited by 21 percent of participants; and the technical issue of architecting and integrating services-oriented application architectures, named by 16 percent of respondents.
Other trends cited in the survey include
wireless development, with 48 percent planning applications in the next year, and Linux development, with 8 percent citing Linux as their primary OS and 15 percent as a secondary OS. There also is a marked migration from Visual Basic 6.0 and earlier to Visual Basic .Net.
