Which is the best java or c# with the advent of .net framework?
Both are good for different reasons. .net platform stuff won't execute in a non-Windows environment, whereas Java stuff will. Then again, much of the marketshare is toward Windows now, so there's that, and plus, there are an awful lot of both types of jobs and such out there. It's really what tools best fit the job - there is no "best", there's "best for this project". Good luck!
Reply:One isn't really better than the other. C# will run wherever the .Net framework can be installed. This means Windows, AND Unix/Linux/Mac machines (via the Mono project). Java runs wherever the Java runtime is installed (again Windows or Unix or Mac). So, no advantage here.





C# can be viewed as Microsoft taking all the best bits of Java, and improving it a bit. I say 'improving' cautiously! It really comes into its own when using the Visual Studio development environment. Nothing I've used to program Java applications has been as powerful or easy as developing a C# app in VS. For my money, C# it is, but learn either and a good career awaits.
