That some one had the next great idea in business software development and he or she had two choices 1) Do it right, or 2) Do it in .NET ... which would you choose?

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know. -- Ernest HemingwayI'd come over, slap you silly, then buy some beer to work it out. .net or anything else is IRRELEVANT. Think business man... think customer. The customer does not give a flip about the underlying technology. Right? Do it right? Do it .net? How about "do it done"? If you have a great idea, move on it. cg...... yeah, I'm curious

Software Engineer: a man, who when presented with a hammer states, "With this tool I can build a tool to drive nails". While I hate to disagree the choice of technologies is supremely important. The code I am currently writing, which was from my question, is going to be in Java but it would be possible to do in .NET with compromises. Believe it or not there are some things you can do in Java that you cannot do in .NET.

Being the customer myself I have already fully described the entire requirements for the project. I just thought it was an interesting perspective to consider, knowing that I could hit some function points using .NET and 100% using Java.

With all due respect: Isn't it just possible that you should be saying that there are things you know how to do in Java than you don't know how to do in .NET?

One of the easiest ways to go broke. In the early 90's I was a guru in a product called Superbase, an excellent PC based database along the lines of Access. It was ALWAYS a hard sell to get the clients to accept Superbase over MS products. I eventually gave Superbase the flick and went to Access then SQL Server/VB. While you statement MAY be valid for small business any medium sized organisation is and should always be interested in the technology you are proposing. Get it wrong and you have a hard sell and a shrinking market.

Interested in the reply here... I've heard a lot of Java evangelists bang on about this and that feature of Java that isn't in .NET, only to point them to a point in the MSDN doco and say "is this what you're talking about?". The only thing .NET was missing, from my point of view, was design by contract, which it gets with WCF. No argument in terms of functionality, IMHO.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know. -- Ernest HemingwayThis is really interesting, could you give some pointer as to what Java can do that .Net can't? So far most things I have come across are usually smoother .Net due to better tooling and the language itself seems generally more powerful, but that is to be expected as it is a language that came after Java.

That is not Design by Contract as is commonly understood. It's still missing Design by Contract as is commonly understood! (As is almost everything by the way and certainly everything that's mainstream.)

Usually true. Unless his marketing buddies have convinced him to add sizzle to his product with .Net / cloud architecture / etc. Dealing with a client who wants a specific technology is like walking a mine field. You have to ask him what he expects from the product, and give him a cost breakdown of using various implementation technologies.

I'm confused - how would I grow broke by getting something running to show the customer early? Call it semi-RAD or agile, whatever, but requirements have always been the bugaboo in s/w development. Wait, is "show the customer working code" the part you object too? I'd change that to working product. No customer needs to see source.

I don't know how to make my .NET application run on Solaris, Macinitosh, Linux, Win95, Win98, Win2000, WinXP, and WinVista all at the same time without writing a web-based system that won' work in this case.
