I need your help in this one, I need to create a document with all the available non technical comparisons between Java and C#, why Java is better, why C# is better, do you know any really good links where I can find this information?????

Thanks for your help
 
great guys, thanks, I'll check this links before going home, but if someone has more links will be appreciated ;)

Thanks in advance
 
Well, Java vs CSharp, since you came up with this kind of a question I would like to point out that Java is not Operating System dependent...but CSharp is... that's one of Java's advantages... anyway GL with your .doc endeavours...

I know that java can be used in several platforms and .NET can only be used in Windows (what about the Mono Project???? looks nice)
But there is this new guy that is trying to move several big projects to Java, and it's not that I don't want to or like Java, but we've been developing in C# and C++ fro over a year, and now I want to discuss this and point that doing this will cost too much to the company, the whole platform of the company is Microsoft and when I say everything I mean it, there's not a single unix, linux or novell server in the network worldwide, the databases are SQL Servers, etc etc, but there's this guy that got promoted that loves linux and java and wants to move his projects to java, so I need all the information I can gather to tell the big boss that he's nuts. I've found tons of information about this, from Microsoft, Sun, independents, etc.
So all the help you're providing is very helpful to complete the document I'll use the day of the meeting (next tuesday)
 
read about the petshop test
and discuss interopability, which .net has and java doesnt.. with your existing code.

there is jni, but don't mention it =]

Microsoft is actually persuading java programmers to move to .net by adding a built-in Java-to-C# converter tool in VStudio (2003?). :D
 
The point is though that bug corporations, such as IBM and Oralce preffer Java to save time and money - no more multiple development groups working on the same thing for different platforms.

The truth is (me being a Java fan who has moved recently to c#) that C# is more comfortable and a better choice for Win32 programming- but anywhere else Java is a god send.
 
Java is a strong language. Someone somewhere will still use it for much longer time. I think next 5 years or so, it will be .net age, so I should start programming .net from now on. .Net will rock! :D
 
Take it from someone who is in the buisness - A java expert is rarer and more valuable than a .Net expert.

This is not because Java is better, but because it is an expert's language.
.Net is more of a easy-to-use ;anguage.

Don't get me wrong - .Net is just as powerful and strong, but Java has some web-based uses which .Net could never provide as well.
I personaly don't know what they are exactly :) but I know this well since I work alot with HR people.
