Java v/s .NET is an age old debate! We have compared both Java and .NET on parameters like technical performance and future scope. NIIT provides certification courses for both Java and .NET. View our presentation and choose which course to enrol for at NIIT!

1. JAVA V/S .NET – WHICH IS BETTER?

2. Java is:
• A general-purpose computer programming language that
is concurrent, class-based & object-oriented
• A foundation for virtually every type of networked
application
• A global standard for developing and delivering
embedded and mobile applications, games, web-based
content and enterprise software
Basics of Java & .NET
.NET is:
• A Microsoft operating system platform that incorporates
applications
• The .NET Framework supports building and running of
next gen of applications and XML Web services
• With .NET, you have the ability to create reusable modules,
which should increase productivity and reduce the number
of programming errors

3. Openness of the Code Third Party Integrations
Integrated Development Environment Speed & Performance
Parameters for Java & .NET Comparison
Career Opportunities Future Prospects

4. Openness of Code1
• Java is a somewhat of a cross between open source
and proprietary. About 80% of all Java
applications are built on open source tools
• It allows applications to run on all possible
gadgets without the need to rewrite the code
• The .NET environment allows developers to
program in more than 20 languages, including
Cobol
• The only hitch is the need to run such .NET
applications on Microsoft’s Common Language
Runtime, and this almost invariably requires
heavy infrastructure

5. Third Party Integrations2
• Java is platform independent, with the developer
having the freedom to choose any operating
system for production and development
• It offers a host of third party integration tools &
works through third-party libraries
• Microsoft’s .NET framework offers features
and functionality designed specifically for
creating and running applications on the
Windows platform, though it does support
connectivity with non-Windows systems
• .NET-based applications share information
with applications running on other platforms
seamlessly

6. Integrated Development Environment (IDE)3
• Java’s flexibility extends to its Integrated
Development Environment (IDE)
• Developers can pick and choose from the four
main IDEs : Eclipse, IntelliJ Idea, Oracle NetBeans,
and Oracle Jdeveloper, or sundry minor ones
• .NET developers are tied to Microsoft Visual
Studio. It provides everything that developers
need to develop, debug and deploy most types of
applications
• It spares developers the hassle of having to
evaluate tools and IDEs in advance, as in the case
with Java

7. 4
• Java IDEs take their time compiling. Also, it does
not have an equivalent to .NET’s “async” and
“await,” two markers which mark code positions
from where control should resume after a task
completes
• Nevertheless, Java 8 offers several improvements –
most notably concurrency updates to improve its
ForkJoin feature
• Whatever .NET suffers in flexibility, it makes up in
speed of execution and performance
• Microsoft .NET framework has three technologies
that directly improve its performance: Just-In-
Time compilation, garbage collection, and Hyper-
Threading technology
Speed and Performance

8. 5 Career Opportunities
In 2013
The scenario post 2013 has pretty much remained the same. Hiring
scenario these days require you to know multiple things.
Java developers are presently very much in demand by a huge
margin. Being platform independent, many enterprise
applications run on Java. Although .NET is an outstanding
framework and C# is an excellent language, they are very much
affected by the Microsoft Windows Server platform.

9. 6
Instead of worrying about that, why not make yourself future-proof?
Future Prospects
As a software developer, you must be familiar with more than one language. Master
one specific language you are currently working on but be well versed with others as
well. Be the master of one and jack of several!
