Java is cross-platform while .NET is for Windows platforms only.
I took a Introduction to Java course last year. I had the same question when I started the class http://www.DevelopIntelligence.com/catalogue/java-training.php. But I learned that Java and .NET are both platforms that run applications. Both platforms use something known as a virtual machine. In the Java platform, the primary programming language use to write applications is called Java. In the .NET platform, the programming language choices include VB.NET, C++.NET, C#.NET. In other words, there is no "difference between the Java langage and the .net language" as there is no "net language". The Java language is most similar to the C# language in .NET. There are some technical differences, but in general they are about the same.
java is the best platform compared to dot net
Java is always the best. Java is great for Enterprise while desktop is the place for .Net
java is very most important language in computer field. .net is also useful
Java
java is from sun and .net is from microsoft, java is a language + runtime and .net is run frame that supports multiple language.
Java can run on any operation system(platform independent) but .net runs only under windows.
C, C++ and Java are cross-platform languages. NET is for Windows-only.
Java and .Net are used more to create applications and interactive sites. It all depends on your background.
Java is cross-platform while .NET is for Windows platforms only.
IDE is just the development environment while the Framework is the backbone of compiling the code.IDE's :Visual StudioJbuilderjdevelopereclipsenetbeansand so onBut Framework for .Net programmers is different than what Java programmers understandFramework for java programmers is:Spring FrameworkStruts FrameworkShine Enterprise Java PatternFramework for .net programmers is:.net Framework 1.1.net Framework 2.net Framework 3.net Framework 3.5.net Framework 4
Java is very powerful because: a. It is easy to learn and code b. It is object oriented c. It has a lot of features d. It is platform independent e. Almost all platforms can run java programs f. Java is free g. And so on.
