According to the current IT market trends which is in more demand Java or .NET?

Its like I am willing to go for a full time course, but I am not able to make a choice between Java or .NET. So Please help me out by telling, out of these which one would be more beneficial to me.

There’s no one good answer for this question. If you asked this on programming forums, flame wars would break out. People that like Java will tell you Java. People that like .NET will tell you .NET. That said, every programming language and platform has its pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses.

I’ve never worked with .NET and have done some Java. Let that be a warning to you for my bias.

Both Java and .NET platforms are widespread. If you don’t mind working on microsoft only platforms, then .NET would probably be the way to go. Java is also deployed on enterprise linux setups, as well as mobile platforms.

As a programmer, with Java as a first language isn’t much better or worse than learning .NET as your first language. However, know that if you want to get better, you’ll have to learn other languages after that, such as C, C++, Ruby, Erlang, Haskell, Python, Lua, Smalltalk, and Lisp. Every language is good at something, and will have concepts that will open your eyes to programming that just knowing one language can’t show you.
