    .Net developers probably work for less, but there are likely more Java developers around

    From Software Development Magazine's 2004 (latest I could find from them) Annual Salary Survey:

    $83k for Java
    $81k for C#

    Look for the subsection (average salaries by language used)

    Does Visual Studio support java or is it just Java.net?

    Also I think java is mostly used in Servlets now right?

    .Net does support Java-type languages but the interface and syntax may differ slightly, that's all

    Re: java vs .net technology [Serious]

    I came up this question cause the company that Im working were planning to retool me to java. I have more than 2 years in c# programming. If this time comes I will be leaving C# and moving 2 java. I got this question also because I am not looking only my carrier path in my company. I aslo consider my future outside of my current company.

    You don't have to just know ONE language - keep up to date with your C# skills. The day is sure to come where you have a project that makes C# a valid choice over Java, and otherwise.

    Moving to Java will be a piece of cake - getting the hang of the Eclipse IDE and project structures will probably be the worst part.

    I would rather get paid lower for working in a language I like working in. Money becomes irrelevant if you're a code zombie.
