Abstract

When Microsoft launched its .Net environment, the company also launched two new languages to be used with its Visual Studio.Net tools: C# and VB.Net These were designed to drive the next generation of Web services and applications. C# was based on C++ and was intended to be both simpler than its parent and confer features associated with Java, such as type safety. VB.Net can be regarded as a new version of Visual Basic but is sufficiently different to its parent to represent a big change for developers. Microsoft has claimed that there are advantages in learning these new languages but the key question remains is whether there is a demand among Microsoft shops for IT professionals to learn them. Currently, enterprises have to make a choice between two competing architectures: .Net, based on Windows technologies; and Java 2.0 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), which is used in products such as the IBM Websphere and BEA logic application server.
