Hi Jim,
One of the best articles I have seen is
http://java.oreilly.com/news/farley_0800.html
<http://java.oreilly.com/news/farley_0800.html>
I would add that with your teams already good understanding of Microsoft
tools it does provide them with a solid basis to learn .NET technologies.
Personally I found a knowledge of ASP and VB helped me in learning ASP.NET
and VB.NET, learning Java/J2EE would have taken a lot longer.
Cheers
Andrew

Subject: [DOTNET-ADVOCACY] .NET vs. Java
Hi All,
The company I am employed by (I've only been here a month) is un-decided on
what path to choose: .Net or Java. The IT shop is mostly Microsoft (SQL
Server, VB, ASP). Over the last year, the person I replaced was
investigating Java - to the point where some money was spent on purchasing
tools and developing the beginnings of a framework, but other than that, no
major financial investments have been made. Since the individual with the
majority of java knowledge has left, the company is again revisiting the
decision. The remaining IT staff is well versed with Microsoft tools and
technologies with very little exposure to Java.
I've Googled ".NET vs Java" with a lot of returns. But a lot of what I have
read has come from biased sources (on both sides of the argument).
Can anyone recommend some articles or sites that attempt to treat the
subject without bias that list the criteria and how each platform measures
up?
Thanks,
Jim
