.NET develops advantages over Java
ZDNet | at | by Mike
Given that my brain happens to be stuck deep in programming la la land (as opposed to where it normally sits, which is in a jar, labeled "Abby Normal"), I'm going to take a detour from my usual obsession with the state of the software industry and discuss some of the ways .Net is an improvement over Java. As I've noted before in Talkbacks, I've been programming Java in some form since JDK 1.0. Java development has a number of advantages over traditional environments which output machine language. .Net has the advantage of hindsight, however, and has improved on Java in a number of areas. Here are some that stand out from my most recent project (I could tell you what that project's all about, but then I'd have to eat you).
It's worth noting that this article is somewhat more technical than my norm. This is unavoidable, as .Net, like Java, is essentially technology for enhancing developer productivity. Besides, at this point, I'd probably find a way to make Dr. Seuss stories sound complicated.
