Stuart Jones
.Net and Java

While the sabers continue to rattle over the superiority of either .Net or Java over its competing platform, the fact of the matter is that terrific software systems have been written in both platforms and sometimes we need them to just get along and work with one another.  Perhaps you have built a best-of-breed turnkey platform in .Net but now have a major prospective client who is running in a Java environment. Or maybe you have legacy or acquired software written in Java but need to leverage it with a team of .Net developers. How will you get these two systems to communicate with one another and get the job done in a cogent, efficient and performant manner?
 
This talk will look at the various ways that .Net and Java systems can work together to provide solid business solutions. We'll look at the strengths and weaknesses of each platform as well as some of the problems that you will face when trying to interface one platform with the other.
