I want to understand one thing at major companies: Why Java?

Is this a company investment thing, they're in bed with IBM? Is it a mentallity thing? Is it a compiled language thing? Is it a security thing?

It's certainly not a speed thing. Every team I have had experience with working with on a Java platform has taken ages to deliver anything. CMSs that I could build rapidly with the likes of PHP/MySQL take months/years to get off the ground. Change is slow.

Believe me, I have zero experience of working with Java, but I need to understand why they do it. Have you experienced rapid development teams using Java?

Hi All

I know some of you use Clicky for your web analytics. I've developed a native application and am interested (before I push out for beta testing) what data/features are important to you. Even if you don't use Clicky, you may have a view on what an iPhone app should consider for a web analytics stats app...

What Clicky data is important for you to see on a per site basis?

How flexible with the timeframes do you need it to be? Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days?

What must you absolutely have in the app?

What you don’t like about the Clicky iPhone webstats site

What iOS native API functionality could the app take advantage of?

What price point you would be willing to pay for such an app?

Remembering that this is a mobile app, and features/data required should be seen as required 'on-the-move'.

If you're interested in beta testing, feel free to email me: steve[dot]reynolds[at]gmail[dott]com
