Java and .NET
• Java was created by Sun in 1992 • Microsoft introduced .NET and C# in 2000• both platforms are object-oriented, type safe, and have
automatic garbage collection• the two platforms have been competing vigorously on the
desktop• but especially in the area of server technology
• many developers become expert on one platform• few have time to learn both
• the schism of understanding the two platforms widens• due to misinformation and disinformation
• what are the strengths and issues for each platform?

the JRE and .NET runtimes include lots of libraries
• programs can call a huge body of pre-written code
• these reusable components are called the Class Libraries• in Java, sometimes they are also called packages or Java API’s• in .NET, they tend to be called the framework class libraries
• the libraries are designed to be used identically• in Java, regardless of the underlying operating system• in .NET, regardless of the underlying version of Windows
OR which language is being used
