Should i learn .net or java? Where are going to be more jobs .net or java in future?Currently there are lots mnore jobs for java as i found out from job sites, but i also found articles on internet saying that .net offers better performance and better development enviornment(ide's) etc which make faster application development. java is platform independent but i also heard that the mono project for .net on linux platforms is doing good with support from microsoft. So would java survive in next 5 years ? I plan to learn one of the two technologies . It seems to me that there would be a shorter learning curve to .net than java. Seems there are too many competing technologies(struts/jsf) withjin java itself where as this is not the case with .net. My BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT I WANT TO LEARN ONE OF THESE AND FIND A JOB AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT also plan learning a technology that would survive atleast a few years, so that my exp. counts for atleast some time before outdating. Pls help.

Look at it this way - more than half of the production code in existance today is still written in Cobol - yup, good old cobol (all of the legacy programs that will never be re-written). They stopped teaching it about 20 years ago, which actually puts the demand high for those crack programmers (who'd have thunk?)
Lesson - don't worry where the jobs are - do something you have passion for, and if you're a good employee, your company will train you on anything else you don't know but need to know.
