What's the advantage of C Sharp (C#) language over Java?

What programming language you think is the worthiest to focus on? Is .NET technologies superior than Sun technologies.

What's the advantage of C Sharp (C#) language over Java?
C# has lot of similarities like Java. Though there are few features missing in Java(though Java is making up for it in new releases). C# had the advantage of carefully examining Java while developing their language, like delegates in C#. You could read more about the comparison at http://www.25hoursaday.com/CsharpVsJava....


As far as performance comparison is concerned it is not quite clear which one would perform better, it completely depends on what sort of application you are looking at. Though IMO Microsoft has control over its techonology hence not many IDE and servers have sprouted unlike Java. .Net developers would not be wasting their time looking for the flavour that suits them.
Reply:WEll, in my opinion, C# is good as an intro to C++. Though I think Java is better if that is all you plan on learning, not just as a gateway to something bigger. Java allows easy integration into a web browser or allows you to make apps. Also Java is fairly versatile.





So overall, Java.
Reply:Java. I will say it again. Java. Java is for like every platform and it is open sourced. .Net is only confined to windows.
Reply:C sharp is more simple then the rest. but Java is also a great programming lang.
Reply:C# applications can also be edited using J# (Microsoft's Java knockoff), or VB.NET. Also, it can use ADO.NET to connect to databases.
Reply:I think the question is where are you programming? Java seems to run better on non-Windows platforms than it does on Microsoft's OSes (probably for a reason, but I won't speculate). Furthermore, the .NET languages seem to give better performance over java stand alone applications on Windows. Why this is, I'm not sure, but I could venture some guesses. One interesting thing to note is that if you're talking about C# in a web application, the .NET FW actually converts a lot of the code into Javascript in order to function in some special ways (such as changing information on the page without communicating with the server).
