Andrew,
=20
Of the articles I've read so far, this was one of the few that actually =
listed various features side-by-side comparing the two platforms. Even =
thought the article is 2 years old, I did find some useful information =
in it.
=20
You're right about the existing knowledge base. I've been "playing" =
with .NET for a little while myself and have not had to worry about a =
lot of issues that I suspect would be associated with having to learn =
the whole J2EE platform from the bottom up.
=20
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
=20
One of the best articles I have seen is
=20
http://java.oreilly.com/news/farley_0800.html
=20
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.
=20
Cheers

Subject: [DOTNET-ADVOCACY] .NET vs. Java
Hi All,
=20
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.
=20
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). =
=20
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?
=20
Thanks,
=20
Jim
