The IDE for C# is light years ahead of Sun's Sun One Studio and Borlands JBuilder. Like it or not, Microsoft can churn out some pretty good stuff. Do you guys remember how we (windows users) had to use MS DOS and notepad to create our Java apps? I do. The development tools for Java are catching up, but they're still 5 years behind. Easily.

Thanks a lot for your help, easy to understand and got the point accross.

Ta,
Mark.

Speaking strictly from experience, I've been doing Java for 3 years and recently started doing .NET [have previous exp with ASP]

The problem with Java is the huge dependencies on third party code [usually opensource]. These opensource projects are frequently in beta or some chaotic state that causes constant changes in your own code to keep up. I actually started doing jsp / servlets for this reason [asp was too limiting]. I used J2EE, Jboss, Tomcat, log4j, struts, jetspeed, etc etc etc. It just came to a point where 40 percent of my time was spent keeping up with someone else's bugs.

The cross platform mantra of Java is really not that relevant. Simply put, you will get more done in shorter time in .NET, boiling down to cost savings for your client/company. Anyone who selects a platform just because its "cross platform" is indeed lying to themselves because when you say cross platform, most likely you have already made the decision to deploy on unix and only unix, so whats the point in being "cross platform".

Dont get me wrong, I like java. But I like .NET better

Regards,
Mark

Hi Tazzbot,

I gotta agree with you, after looking more into it i desided that C# is the next language i'm gonna learn (over Java). Can't agree with your platform independance stament though, platform independace to me is exactly that, meaning it should work on multiple platforms (windows, unix etc.)

develpment time is very important and C# has that over Java too, Also even though it's been around alot less time is seems to be more mature (if you know what i mean, sounds strange.) but neither can match Python for devlopment time, ease of use and scalability.

Anyway thats for your input,

Have fun,
Mark.

One of the first things I saw in C# that got me interested in it: read/write properties:

Code:

Java:

public int getSize() {
	return size;
}

public void setSize (int value) {
	size = value;
}

C#:

public int Size {
	get {return size;
	}
	set {size = value;
	}
}

If you like C# attributes try this:

public int Size{get;set;}

In my opinion C# is much better than Java when designing complex applications.

Java features are poor if compared with C#.

However Java is nice and actually a must for mobile developement.

I've seen the thread is old, however I wanted to post some additional fresh info about C# attributes.

I recommend Java and Oracle, which would provide you flexibility to initiate web or desktop-based GUI to allow other users the ability to modify / preview reports, etc.
