This tutorial by Jim Farley, author of Java Distributed Computing and co-author of Java Enterprise in a Nutshell, examines the technical material that has already been made available about Microsoft's new .NET development platform by comparing it to Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE).

The key components of each are examined side-by-side including: Java vs. C#, Java Server Pages (JSP) vs. Active Server Pages+ (ASP+), Java Core Application Programming Interface (API) vs. .NET common components and Java Swing vs. Win Forms and Web Forms. The feature sets and compatibility issues of each platform are also examined and compared in detail.
