See, I knew about some of that stuff. ok...so Java is actually interpreted from bytecode in a fashion similar to QBasic? (or VB, I thought VB was interpreted?!?) Which came first, Java or .NET? I always thought of Java as a framework, like .NET is a framework.

I do agree with you on GUI programming being easier in .NET, and the fact that managed environments are so much easier. When you say JIT compilation, do you mean compilation similar to C/C++ - with the ability to run just as fast (as soon as it's compilied)?

Next, I have coded/am coding in both Java, and C#, depending on the sit. Which is more valuable?

For a career, IMO, A good round knowledge fo Java, .NET(VB or C#) and C/C++. What's your opinion
