Ultimate Confusion: Java or Dot Net?

Software developers and IT engineers often find themselves in the confusion while choosing their area of expertise, rather choosing their language to become a developer. The confusion is whether to pursue a career in Java or in Dot Net. The confusion is from the future perspective as well as from the career perspective. Now when we talk about future perspective, it means how good it would be from the financial perspective, how well can one do with respect to their career growth and financial growth.

Here, we do not aim to answer a certain entity for this question but we will certainly shed some light on the whole Java-Dot Net scenario to help you choose better. If you search on the internet and being a software developer you know how to search on the internet, you will find typical biased answers written by either Java fanatics or Dot net fanatics. So whether to go with their opinion or do your own research is up to you, we will try to provide you neutral opinion about these languages, hope it helps you choose what you want.

The real question: Which is better?

Rather than asking which is better, we should actually look into the fact whether these two languages can actually be compared. In depth or not so in depth analysis will give result that Dot net is actually a framework that provides or supports several other languages such as C#, VB.Net etc. On the other hand, Java is a programming language similar to C# and VB.Net.

Hence, this proves that learning Java will certainly restrict your scope to one language, but it also means you will at your strongest when you concentrate on single entity such as Java. IF you go for Dot Net you certainly have a larger scope and probably multiple options to work with, you can either be C# developer or VB.Net developer or rather be some other Dot Net platform based language developer.

Dot net provides a platform with a pool of various readymade functionalities that are available while writing a code, which leads you to learning Platform, based language so that you can be able to develop the code accordingly.

Career Perspective

The most interesting point of the discussion, where it is going to lead you in your career graph? According to current market scenario, companies are looking for people who have equilibrium between many developing domains, they might give higher preference to people who know more than once language. On the contrary, the increasing trend in hiring business suggests that people with specialised knowledge in particular fields is potentially has the better probability of getting jobs.

For Java it is not just the knowledge of Java that you require, but rather it in depth study of domains such as J2SE, JSF etc. Same is the case with Dot Net, people with more expertise in C#; SQL server and MS tech etc. are getting better jobs than people with Graduation degrees and lenient knowledge of Dot Net.

There are rather increasing branches for both the languages that lead to Application development, Mobile development or Website development which may turn out to be better future options for developers.
