What’s Your Pick: Java or .NET Application Development?

Is Java A Dead End For Enterprise Application?

Be it creating a new software system or a custom application for your organization, the selection of the development language is the first and most critical decision to be made. Besides the many choices in medium-to large-scale application development .NET and java are often the prime contenders.  This article gives a bigger picture at what each one has to offer and choice is yours.

Weigh Portability: While Java doesn’t stick to "write once, compile anywhere" promise entirely, J2EE portability tends to be good for core components such as Java Server Pages, business rules and Enterprise JavaBeans. The application can run on "virtual machines" like diverse computer types, consumer gadgets and other devices on a network but written for each platform. Whereas Microsoft .NET Application Development, claiming interoperability is more important than portability, can share information with applications running on other platforms through Web services that is XML-based messages are sent via the Simple Object Access Protocol.

Single vs. Multi Lingual: One of most significant feature difference between Java and .NET is that the former is written in a single language while the latter one supports multiple languages, considering the chief ones to be Microsoft's C#, F# and VB.net.

Proprietary vs. Open Source: Developed by Microsoft, the .NET Framework is a concrete and free product that integrated into the Windows operating system. In spite of it not relying on third-party vendors to provide an implementation, it is highly extensible and many third-party additions are available.

Moreover, one of Java’s strengths is that a wide range of products, tools and applications are available from numerous vendors. On the other hand, .NET Web Development has a standard IDE (integrated development environment) comprising of things a web developer needs to build, debug and deploy any kind of application targeted for the .NET framework.

To summarize, pick a platform depending on your situation and the needs of your application however you wouldn’t go wrong picking either of those.
