Its all personal preference. What I suggest to all members that are looking to get into programming, is to choose the language that you are most comfortable. No one person can be a master at every programming language, its just not mentally possible.

Choose something that you enjoy writing and have the most motivation for.

Btw, Java is a much bigger language and more widely used then .Net.

its down to personal taste, they both have strengths and weaknesses. maybe have a look at

http://www.computerworld.com/s/artic.../.Net_vs._Java

I think Java is more better .

If you go with Java, IBM has an MVC application called WebSphere with free development tools and instances. Check out the IBM web site.

That said, do not limit yourself to one set of tools. Programming can encompass many tools, languages and syntax but "data in" -> process -> "data out" is always the model for business information development.

I think Java is more diverse and better

it depends both are needed and interesting..depends on u completely..

thanks to all guys for reply me.But i have one more question.Is it possible to get a job after BCA in Development field.

In My view .Net is better,because it is easy and fast.

i agree it's all personal taste... myself like java more

Both are of different, powerful programming languages/platforms. Both are good. For basic mobile application development, JAVA (J2ME, J2EE) is good. And while coming to the desktop apps i choose both for being best and in the web apps development i do choose .net (asp.net) first and then JAVA.

It somewhat depends on what platform are you targetting.

If you haven't looked into it, check out Rails. Ruby on Rails. You won't regret it.

This is my first post
according to me i think java is batter field for net because in java there are lots of job opperchunity are avalable in this field but net is not bad because boath are most pawoerfull language regarding my side java is better

[DELETED]

actually .Net is a proper field whereas java is being used in all fields. For example javascript.
The thing to compare here is the .Net or the pHp. But still I would prefer the .Net in your case as it has more scope and very much potential. People mostly find it easy to learn than the pHp so I would say go for it with close eyes

Hello...
I think it will totally depend on your individual choice and Interest ,I think you should choose the language that you are most comfortable...

you should go for both start with .net, learn this first and make your way to java if you have enough time for that

I'd go for java!

It depends on personal taste. But if I were to choose from those two, I'd go with Java. Java is more diverse in application compared to .NET.

I think java is better than other programming language.

JAVA is the best and much wider area then any other language but asp is also a good language to learn and got much scope also whether learning c and c++ doesnt results out in profit coz they are out from the market. Python is also one of my fav. language coz we can use that language in terms of database stealing and hacking too.

It really depends on what you are doing, both are very good. I personally like .Net as it is a very fast programming language. If it takes me 100 hours to do a project in Java I could do it in 70 hours in .Net. On larger projects that time saved can add up to a lot of money.

Perl ftw! (java if you want to sell out)

Depend with your purpose and your ability to learn both of programming. Based on my experience in few years, Java is the best programming language than other. Its simple, easy to learn, applicable, and multifunction.

for me i would say java

The best lies with the preference and the demand. If you are working for a company, you need to learn the programming language that they use.

I prefer JAVA..
Its mostly used compared to .Net..
But it still depends on your taste..

Java has significant advantages over other languages and environments that make it suitable for just about any programming task. It is easy to learn, was designed to be easy to use and is therefore easy to write, compile, debug, and learn than other programming languages. It is also object-oriented. This allows you to create modular programs and reusable code. And most of all, Java is platform-independent.

There are many programming language.PHP, .net, java etcb but i prefer to java, because Java is batter than another.

PHP is better, it is easy language and latest famous social networking site(facebook) was made in PHP in 2004. i daily use facebook.

It depends on yoru requirements I think you should learn .net if you want to go for web apps

Why does Mary Smith and Linda Brown have links to the same site with different names? Spam?

Anyway, I'm a C# developer myself. I start out learning Visual Basic back in the 90's, what a mistake. That set my learning curve back a few years. Once I learned about C and C++ my mind was intrigued. I sat day in and day out learning the mass inter workings of c++. Then I discovered C#. WOW was all I could say to myself. With C# I could write entire functions with MUCH MUCH less code and with equal performance. So there it was, my calling, C#.

It's really a personal choice in some ways. In other ways, Microsoft is tying our hands at using .Net

Hey! I think they're both equal. Services terms that is. It's down to what you think of them. Both has pros and cons as well as positive and negative reviews. Try making up your mind cause it's your choice. Best of luck to you regarding this.

.net is very best, I prefer to .net !

Hey Friend,

Java is complex and very conventional but as per market research Java demands most.
but friend I am completely agree with "JoshDylan"

Java is biggest language and batter than .net ,,,,,,,

Both programming language has 2 sides,Some good advantage and benefits also both are using widely, But Java is bigger then .Net.


Main thing is interest and enjoyment in programming become easy.Its depend on you which of the language you can grasp fast and enjoy for work.

As per my view, both are the best market today and it really depends on your interest of programming platforms. Actually I prefer .net because of little fast understand features of it.

I have 12 years of software development experience. I am Microsoft Certified Professional Developer and Technology specialist.

There is nothing better out there, it's all you need is platform for deployment.

Java is great for cross platform. On windows .NET is great.

I would say Java because it is suitable for a wide range of application and has better portability than other programming languages.

According to me both are the best market today and it really depends on your interest of programming platforms. Actually I prefer .net because of little fast understand features of it.

Java is better than .net

According to me java is looking best

Yes absolutely it depends on your personal taste. One should choose the language you enjoy writing and personally I like .Net.

[DELETED]

I won't say as one is better than the other rather my point is what is your requirement? That will definitely turn you to decide whether you would take .net or java.

Java fully object oriented and secured ,
more over it has nice and vast library and API.

There no absolute answer to this question.

I think you should learn java until you need to start programming GUI, in which case you want to dump it and go with C++. Java is one of the worst languages ever created for GUI development. It just sux, It's hard to do anything like add line numbers for a textbox, or make it so the delete key deletes and the backspace key backspaces. If anyone disagrees then go emulate the Windows calculator in Java, every aspect of it. Make it so it switches to scientific mode when you click the button. Then go do the same in QT.

Java = 3 weeks work.
C++ with QT library = 6 hours work.

I suggest nobody do .NET because it's restricted to windows and there's no need to restrict yourself when you could use something like C++ QT. Which is a library extension just like .NET (Microsoft) but QT is written by Nokia and it's free for commercial use and it works on every platform out of the box including most mobile phones.

You could also get into python which is a scripting language built on C++.
But if my opinion is worth anything, stay away from 1 operating system class libraries like .NET. More and more hipsters are buying MAC's unfortunately so we need to cater for the hipsters.

CATER FOR THE HIPSTERS!

edit: actually java just sux, start with C++ standard library instead. Then move on to QT libraries when you know the basics of C++
