========================================================= -------- DEVSOURCE -------- ========================================================= December 13, 2004 ========================================================= The Java Farmer and the .NET Cowboy Can Be Friends I sometimes wonder if the division between .NET and Java programmers is manufactured by the computer press. Like other journalists, we're always looking for friction -- it does, after all, sell newspapers. Statistics do show that there's a huge overlap, that a high percentage of Java developers use .NET technologies (and vice versa). If you know .NET, it's likely that you also use Java at least some of the time. Yet, while I don't think this is a situation with a lot of hissing and spitting on both sides (at least, outside the vendor headquarters), I do see developers identify themselves primarily with one technology or the other. After all, it's hard to be an expert on everything... Java AND .NET AND all the other technologies you need to do your job well. Mainsoft Corporation recently updated a tool that promises to ease that particular pain. With Visual MainWin, they say, you can do Java development inside the VS.NET environment you already know. Does the product fulfill the promise? John Mueller gives the tool a good swift kick, and shares his results. http://ct.eletters.ziffdavis-announces.com/rd/cts?d=180-101-11-116-2517-1564-0-0-0-1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - New Atlanta http://www.newatlanta.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187473 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
