The Need for Java Consultants

As computer programming languages go, Java is not one of the easiest to grasp! That’s why so much Java programming requirement is outsourced by IT companies (even well-established software development consultancies) to Java consultants – vastly experienced experts in the writing and implementation of Java. (Java is used for creating things like software for computer games, websites, mobile phone applications, and more.)

Java consultants either work remotely or on-site, usually on a short contract basis.

Software development companies worldwide are noticing a considerable increase in the demand for internet applications that require Java at development stage, with some even being overwhelmed by the demand. The option to avail of a Java consultant’s expertise in order to share the workload (to meet a crucial deadline, for example) is often a boon, therefore.

Consultants in Java technologies (either working independently or as a two or three-person Java consultancy) generally share a similar background: they have worked for many years as Java developers in the UK (or overseas) and, through working on countless projects for software development companies; they have acquired an in-depth knowledge of Java programming. They are also experienced in taking responsibility for personally developing Java applications for businesses and organisations of all sizes.

A good Java consultant for hire will:

• Be a great communicator;
• Work at an affordable rate (recognising your need to keep your project on-budget);
• Be able to solve complex issues (delivering solutions quickly);
• Always work to and comply with industry standards and regulations; and

Document clearly as he/she works, so that any instructional information (left with you upon project completion) is useful and easy to understand.

An in-demand Java consultant would be familiar with all the newer Java versions, such as J2EE (Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition), which is an Advanced Programming Interface for the development and deployment of web-based or internet applications; and J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition), used for creating applications for mobile phones and other Java-enabled small devices.

Any Java consultant worth their salt would also have their finger on the pulse of changing ‘Java trends’ – always remaining abreast of any developments in Java programming so that you, the client, can then gain a competitive edge.

A top-notch Java consultant will have been working in Java-related technologies for a number of years, and should be proficient in:

• Project planning;
• Project management;
• The analysis of (Java-orientated) software needs;
• Software architecture;
• Web, desktop and client-server development;
• Mobile application development; and
• Database design.
