Java and .net
-
Hi everyone, My intention was not to compare all the features of java and .net.But generally there is a feeling(atleast in india) among freshers that, those who choose .net are lazy guys and those who choose java are bright guys. I think there is some reason behind that.now a days in most of the cases a fresher who wants a programming career would not take a java course if he does not have any programming knowledge .because he/she feels that J2EE is tougher.But guys who love programming during their graduation will not hesitate to jump into java. Clearly we can see this when biggies started calling even from 6 months of experienced people in j2ee ,where they would call a .net professional only if he has atleast two years of experience. -- modified at 5:34 Monday 1st May, 2006
Is my understanding correct? .NET Platform = Microsoft specific. Java = Cross-platform.

Uhmmm... You cannot compare Mono to .NET: Mono is just a copy of the .NET class library and has a C# compiler. The class library is not complete, and it's stuck to .NET 1.1, moreover you have to use GTK# and different namespaces in order to create GUIs. So it's not really usable, unless you have a strict need to make a cross-platform application, but in that case I wouldn't go for .NET nor Mono at all. Maybe Java (God forgive me :-D). IMHO. :) ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA]

No. Not here, at least. We had a good C basis befor coming into Java and OO. ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA]

Microsoft has arguments for all.Many companies are moving to linux servers.and its being said that some opensource tools like squid web proxy outperforms microsoft's. Altogther it remains me that fighting scene in matrix where the hero fights with thousands of clones.Similarly microsoft desperately fights with the rest of the world.

Well obviously they aren't very bright. An experienced developer chooses the right tool for the job and doesn't worry about whether they are considered lazy or bright. Both Java and .NET platforms have their own strengths and weaknesses, so you judge which tool to use depending on what your customer requirements are. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

Not sure what you were talking about. Are you trying to say :
C++ belongs to Linux world? C++ belongs to the rest of the world?:~

I just jumped back into Java for one of my classes here at UCSD[^]. I hate it. Java sucks. And Java's generics suck harder. And in general, Java just sucks. Give me C# and .NET any day of the week.
Oh geez... the forum keeps spinning... you'll take care o f it i'm sure, c'ause ... yeah, i neede this. *cough* anyway good job finding the bug.

They should torture both camps, by making them learn Scheme or Haskell :P Or some crazy fork of a language cooked up by one of the Professors - I was taught mainly with a Pascal dialect. There was meant to be tutition in Prolog and Lisp too, but the course was becoming increasingly vocational. I think that might be a fundamental issue with the teaching of programming / software engineering - the conflict between acedemic computer science and the vocational skills that you will use for 90% of your work unless you are in a specialist field like compiler design, graphics or AI. My course was a mish mash of both and not in a good way. The vocational stuff was all about 5 years out of date (or just useless, like teaching RAD with Access) and the acedemic stuff remained to theoretical - concurrent programming, networking theory and language / compiler design were all taught with little or no practical application. I'm currently using ANTLR to develop a custom query language for Lucene, and damn am I rusty. As this field is still so young, and so faddy, many courses are teaching a vocational curriculum that is wildly out of date. Be happy that they are offering a course that has any immediately applicable content. I taught myself C++ while at university as I was lucky enough to get a job programming to help with living expenses. Ryan

Which are far more difficult languages than either .NET or Java. C has pointers and C++ has pointers and mindblowingly complicated and powerful sideffects of its template mechanism. Ryan

I gather that in the UK City financial sector there has been a trend towards using both Java and .NET - Enterprise Java at the back-end, and ASP.NET or Windows Forms at the front end. Presumably this is because they see as MS being comparatively strong at the GUI/Desktop level with J2EE being comparatively strong on the server-side - or maybe just more mature. Kevin

While I agree that you cannot compare Mono and the .Net Framework, you're wrong in some assumptions: .NET 2.0 support is planned and under heavy work and you can as well run applications built using Windows.Forms, just they don't feel as smooth as native (GTK) apps. And it's going to be better with newer releases. Luca The Price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance.
