Which is good Java or Dot Net?

Question

I'm in dilemma to select which. Which is better for the future.

Answer 1

java

Answer 2

You will probably need both.  Dot net is just a mix of libraries for Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual J# and C#.  Java is not J# or J++ it is it's own thing and you will need it too.

Answer 3

both are good in there specific category ..but java is more advanced and has more features and functions than dot.net ..

Answer 4

Future is relative, no one know what it holds, most important, a C based syntax language is crucial because you'll need it everywhere (Web scripting, Application Development, etc).

If you are still a learner, there are ways to make your current programming experience more productive and fun. In my own personal opinion, I choose C# over Java. Why? Because it's more elegant than Java, despite the fact they share same characteristics.

There are some further information to support my opinion:

If you are interested in Crossplatform:

- There 's Compact Framework for small devices and Mono for MACos and Linux (and other platforms).

If you are interested in ease of use:

- You do not need to mess with different versions and SDK's (in relation to Java's Mobile, Standard, Enterprise Editions). There's simply .NET, Compact Framework and Mono, you code should be the same everywhere (at least the most common framework code).

That's what I call compile once run everywhere...

- Better and friendlier environment from console to IDE.

If you are in the right mood to try for yourself it would be better. But that's what I have found over time and stuck to .NET

;-)

Good luck in your quest.

Answer 5

Without more context it is difficult to say, it would probablly be a good idea to learn both though.

In general choose java if you want to remain platform independent. Choose .net if you want better integration with windows and don't mind being locked into it.
