.NET or JAVA

[alsaffar]

Hi everybody,

I'm planning to develop an accountant system that can be accessed from the internet (for some clients) as well as a stand alone application (for those who hate internet). Which language is better: .NET or JAVA?

I'm very good at VB6 but not started yet in .NET and I have just completed an introduction course in JAVA.

Please give me cons and pors and your recommendations please..

Thanx in advance

Ahhh, this question again. Have you searched the forum for previous similar posts ?

It boils down to this : whichever you feel more comfortable with, what your customers feel comfortable with, and whether you wish your app to be cross-platform or not.

It's also worth considering the strength of free software available to Java programmers. I don't know how much (if any) free stuff is out there for .NET, but with Java you can build an impressive and powerful development environment for no cost. As an example you can see, your previous poster offers free Connection Pooling software.
