A COMPARISON OF
MICROSOFT'S C# PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
TO SUN MICROSYSTEMS' JAVA PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

I am having to write some Web apps for work, both for us to attack, and to assist internal development and testing. I did some ASP Back In The Day, and found it clusmy at best.

I am pretty impressed with writting ASP .NET pages with C#. Impressed only because MS finally caught up to Java/JSP 8 years late after a little stop to try and kill it along the way. Sure there are some features of .NET that I am not even touching, but for 90% of what I am doing, its a clean rip of Java.

And forget this is ".NET is available for multiple languages." That like saying you can compile Perl to Java byte code. Sure, but you will make your Perl so nasty in the process, why bother. If you code.NET, you pretty much have to code in Microsoft Java ... I mean C#.
