Java Programming vs. Microsoft Devlopment

Which Platform is better?

During the past few years Microsoft has been battling with many companies on many different fronts.  They have been acquiring companies and building their line of products for both online and offline development.  The stage has been set and Microsoft is ready for battle with the open source community.

The bottom line is that their is no clear victor in the web design space.  Both Microsoft and Java technology will exist far into the future and either design platform will suit the needs of most organizations.  They both offer database connectivity, server side programming, scalability, technical support, robust platforms, design platforms, and sufficient third party integrators.  All in All both software platforms represent solid design choices

Microsoft made early headway into the server side programming with its Active Server Pages (ASP) programming language.  This language is based on Visual Basic and is a very powerful programming language.  Sun and the Java Community responded with Java Server Pages (JSP) and this too is a very powerful programming language.

Which Platform is better? (Continued)

Recently Microsoft has released its .NET framework and this has been the latest buzz in the internet world.  Web hosting companies have begun to offer hosting plans for the .Net servers.  Microsoft has bet huge with this technology and have reported had 2/3 of their programmers working on this new development platform.  Many developers are reporting that this new design language is easy to use and decreases development time and increases reusability of code.  However, the jury is still out despite Microsoft's investment in the technology.

No one technology is right in all situations.  It is important for your company to individually assess its needs before selecting a development platform.
