.Net
- We primarily use .Net to make Windows applications.
- Can also be used to make web apps ( Which I'm primarily working on! )
- Console Apps for Windows are made using this.
- What's the need for the Console App?
- It is used for its simplicity. Why make a whole GUI just for a simple task, right?
- It is lightweight, text i/o operations can be performed easily
- Easily deployable over the cloud.
- What's the need for the Console App?
- Generally considered to have strong security features, especially for enterprise applications.
- Many packages are pre-made and built in to ship things faster.
- It has a stronger focus on the Windows environment.
- It often performs better in the Windows environment due to optimizations in the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and better garbage collection.
- OOPS and strongly typed language with various inbuilt classes and features.
- .Net core has been built for multi-platform applications
- Supports multi-threading
-
Java
- Java follows the "write once, run anywhere" (WORA) principle
- Java is an object-oriented language, which promotes cleaner and more modular code
- Java applications can run on any operating system with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
- Historically, Java has faced security vulnerabilities, particularly related to its runtime environment.
- Java includes automatic garbage collection, which helps manage memory allocation and deallocation.
- Java has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks that simplify development for various applications, including web, mobile, and enterprise solutions.
- Java supports multithreading, allowing developers to create applications that can perform multiple tasks simultaneously.
- This is particularly advantageous if you want to maintain a single codebase for multiple platforms, cz it uses JVM to run Java code.
-
C# vs Java
- Java is designed to be platform-independent, allowing applications to run on any system with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
- Java is the primary language for Android app development, making it essential for developers targeting the mobile market.
- Both are mature languages, thus preferred for long-term projects
- C# is generally used for the Windows apps more.
- Java and C# have very similar syntax as they are both part of the C-family of programming languages.
- C# is generally considered faster than Java, especially for memory-intensive tasks, due to its more efficient garbage collector
-
Node
- Used for more I/O intensive tasks
- I/O? operations which require more waiting from External resources, like databases, another API etc.
- Ex: CRUD on dB, file operations, API Calls, Media Streaming from external sources.
- But you need to think of ways which speed up the I/O processes to make the application faster.
- Used for more I/O intensive tasks
