Hi Mark, how are you?
I've been involved almost 100% over the last year in .net development. My
experience has been in client/server type applications with rich clients so
it might be a bit different perspective than what many of the web app people
might see. That said, I would say the technology capabilities are very
similar, where I have seen the big difference is in developer community
support; especially in the area of open source. However, this is coming
along. For example, our project uses: nunit, nant, ndoc, and log4net (Yes
sometimes I feel like I am living in an alternate universe where j's are
replaced with n's). There is a certain sense that .net is playing a lot of
"me too", but a lot is bred from necessity and of course that is the game
that MS plays the best, right?
There are still many holes in the framework areas though. I haven't seen
anything as thoroughly accepted by developers as Struts or Hibernate
(although I did just notice that sourceforge now has a nHibernate project).
DP or OO style development? As one of the original posters of that thread
said, a lot depends on what management is willing to allow not with what the
technology will provide. No matter how we try, the "waterfall" approach is
still the most accepted development methodology.

Most Java/J2EE applications are written in a Data Processing (DP) style.
Rather than an OO style.
I'd say over 90% of the java Ibeing written is DP-oriented.
At the end of my talk, I asked:
Since most development is in DP style,
is Java really the best choice for building DP programs???
That's why I called the talk COBOL oriented J2EE.
You can't (probably shouldn't) build OO apps in a DP culture.
It may take a .NET person to answer then, if .NET is either:
(1) better at building DP-style applications
(2) has a better OO requirements culture.
Any one have an answer? (guesses also accepted).
