What is the best operating system for programmers?

Mac OS X. Why? First off, we have to consider our options. The major players are: Windows, Mac OS, and Linux/Unix Mac OS is the best because: - Support for automation (Automator/AppleScript) which is essential - Better hardware all-around - Nice functional GUI (comparable to Windows) - Ability to run all major OS via virtualization - UNIX root - Tools support is not bad (Xcode) In essence, Mac OS is like Windows + Linux/Unix.


What is a UNIX environment?

UNIX is an open source operating system. As natural for an OS, it has its own way of doing all the tasks it is supposed to do- like managing files, allocating resources, handling user accounts- so on and so forth. These features make working on UNIX a different experience to working on Windows or Mac OSx- just like the experience of Windows is dissimilar to the OSx experience. Keeping this in mind, the platform and the tools UNIX offers is collectively known as the UNIX environment.


Is platform independent feature means java can be run on windows XP and windows 7 but c or c plus plus does not?

No. The term platform independence in Java does not mean that any other programming language cannot be run in multiple OS platforms. Actually platform independence means that the java code can be run in multiple platforms with little or no customization. The code that can execute in a Windows platform can run as it is in a Linux box, whereas other programming languages need to be customized based on the platform they will be implemented in.


Why is Java not 100 percent platform independent?

AnswerJava is platform independent while JVM is platform dependent. In Java ,you can compile code in to class file and you can run it in any OS without altering your code.But for interpreting class to bytes we need JVM .so it act as a bridge between your class file and OS. Now a days JVM is available for all OS.So Java attains platform independent.AnswerDepending on your definitions, no language may be truly platform independent. A language like Java needs a virtual machine to run the platform independent bytecode. But this virtual machine must run natively on a given physical machine, which means that the JVM in platform dependent. If someone tells you that Java is not completely platform independent, this is probably what they are referring to.
