C# .NET versus Java EE?

try Java, apparently the transitions easier from C++ (don't know personally, started there). also, a couple other points to consider;
- MS may change their mind abt a language in a year or two and render it useless
- Java's been around 10+(?) years and still growing
- Java to C# is pretty easy (namespaces are a bit of fun to get used to, but i'm just stupid)
go Java, lots of free tools!
(all in my humble opinion!)Comment

It's not really knowing the core language (C# is pretty much java with enough incompatibilities / differences so that MS can claim it's a separate language) - it's about knowing the framework around it.Comment

Java, that's the future.
I have heard a rumour M$ are ditching .NET next year and going Java.
All the .Netters better start switching over quick.

Well, where I'm currently contracting, they used to have both a .NET team and a J2EE team of equal size. In the space of one year they've gone to having 1 .NET guy who's just responsible for maintenance, and increased the number of J2EE devs. In fact the .NET apps are gradually being ported to J2EE in a new integration project - and when it goes live, that's the end of .NET at this client.
That's not necessarily the case at all clients, it depends on how much they're dependent on MS technology in the first place. Here they're pretty much platform agnostic so it's been a straight fight and J2EE has comprehensively won.Comment
