JAVA or .NET | What's your truth?

1

I have heard a little bit about comprehensive back-end solutions, and I’ve found many developers discussing these two languages as the were capable of something beyond PHP and ASP alone.

In one hand, we have [COLOR=“Red”]Javers [/COLOR] talking about ‘tranquility’, wider range of related Open Source projects and license-free solutions.

In other hand [COLOR=“RoyalBlue”].Netters[/COLOR] are yelding easyness of the learning curves, projects build at the speed of sound, the 8th wonder of development by using Visual Studio, and very decent Documentations.

I would like to know the truth inside everyone here about this theme. So I’ll let below some of the questions that are buggin my times. Any contribbution will be appreciated.

  1. Why are [COLOR=“Red”]JAVA [/COLOR] and [COLOR=“RoyalBlue”].NET[/COLOR] beyond the capabilities of PHP and our old ASP, in terms of web-development?

  2. [COLOR=“Red”]JAVA [/COLOR] has more avaliable resources than [COLOR=“RoyalBlue”].NET[/COLOR]? What or what kind of resources are these?

  3. Is [COLOR=“Red”]JAVA [/COLOR]complex to code? Is it easier to learn [COLOR=“RoyalBlue”].NET[/COLOR]? Why?

  4. License-free applications are really making the difference for client-budgets? What’s your experience?

  5. [COLOR=“Red”]JAVA [/COLOR] is really lazy in compairson with [COLOR=“RoyalBlue”].NET[/COLOR] developments? Why?

  6. Is Visual Studio really supperior than, for example, Eclipse? What is your experience on that?

  7. [COLOR=“Red”]JAVA [/COLOR] documentation is really that sh* everyone is talking about, when [COLOR=“RoyalBlue”].NET[/COLOR] documentation comes into battleground?

  8. What tool should suit the best, if we consider ‘exclusively’ the integration with RIA (Flash/Flex/AIR) front-end applications?

  9. What do you really thing about this match? Why and what would be your final choice?
