Which one should you choose, and for what reason? .NET is being touted as “a better Java.” In fact, if you look under the hood, the syntactical similarities between Java and .NET’s flagship language C# are quite frightening. Namespaces, Web services and XML are terms and traits we were first exposed to by the Sun camp. Microsoft may appear to be playing catch-up, but it is doubtful they are thinking of .NET as just another marketing scheme, like ActiveX.”
