While Java continues to be the most popular development language in the world, JavaScript has become the second most popular language with a growing developer base utilizing it for both server and client-based functionality. Many organizations are leveraging a combination of these languages in their application development efforts. To address these needs, Oracle offers a comprehensive set of services, toolkits and development frameworks that enable organizations to apply developers– skills across these technologies, to deliver nearly any type of application, including enterprise apps, lightweight container apps, web apps, and mobile apps.

To address the need to democratize application development across lines of business in organizations, Oracle has introduced cloud-based development services for business users.
