I hear lot of discussions now where a developer is expected to know both .Net and Java. Does is really make sense (or a difference for that matter)?

I do fine knowing none of them (actually I "know" C#, the little I needed to port an old VS6 Add-In to VS2008 and a little of C++/CLI, the minimum to create a DLL accessible both from VB6 and from .NET), it really depends on the field you work into. If you work on microcontrollers or have a strong integration with hardware you wouldn't probably need them except on occasional basis.

Well - you only need to know what your need to use. Learn other things that you want to learn. I do .NET because that's how you write M$ compatible stuff. I never got around to Java, but C, C++, C#, etc. should get me there if the need arises. On the other hand, they used to have a java programmer here - and he left for what he thought were greener pastures. They didn't bother replacing him. The real answer is: you need to know what they expect you to know even before they know what they think need.

I think it's worth learning a couple of languages. I've gone for .NET plus web (HTML/JS/jQuery + Frameworks/CSS + LESS/SASS), SQL and Apple Swift. I'll learn Java when the opportunity appears (probably when I get asked to port an iOS app to Android). No harm in making yourself more marketable these days, and it's nice to work on a variety of projects :)

We used to joke about this in another shop I worked at. If faced with a issue or problem we would ask, "What would Jon Skeet do?" Always got a few laughs. :)

IMHO, a developer should ultimately* become 'language independent', within reasonable limits**. Meaning that (s)he should be able to quickly implement a (an elegant) solution in any of those languages, (with help from Internet resources). * over a period of ten years, say. ** about 4-5 languages, including a 'GUI language', and a web language.

Eh, I know .NET... I like .NET... But since all of my .NET projects are on hold for various reasons, I was put on a few Java projects... So I re-taught myself Java... And you know what? I still like .NET. elephanting type erasure...

I use C# (and have used VB.net X| ), and wouldn't mind knowing Java for Android, but I really can't be bothered. (Yes, I've heard of Xamarin, but I don't pay for development tools.)

It happens to be the case in my company, where we have a .NET app server and a set of clients that include Android. /ravi

Is it nonsensical to say that one doesn't know why one doesn't know why something does not make sense ? Is to ask the above question to advance the hypothesis that what does not make sense is always recursive ? Let me get back to you on this in a few more kalpas. cheers, Bill

The discussion makes no sense at all. Know what you must and if you need something else learn it. .NET C# and Java aren't all that different, except for the library, and event handling, and properties, and checked Exceptions, and...

Experience != Skill Knowing the foundations of OOP, SQL and some FP I can pretty much write any (major) language with relative ease. Add to that knowledge of basic structures such as arrays, lists, hashtables, graphs, etc. and some knowledge of common algorithms and you're pretty good to go. Get familiar with some desktop and some web development too. Took me about five years. I'm not saying I know everything (no one ever will) or that I'm some superstar programmer, but I'm sure as hell better than a lot of 10+ years experience seniors I've met (when it comes to programming anyway) :)
