It's .NET for us, all the way!!

That depends alot on:
- budget
- time to market
- amount of data to be processed
- ... theres so many more factors!

Have you got any more details about the project(s) you are planning to implement? I'll assume its standard web based interfaces to databases, in which case Java will probably take a lot longer to roll out, but in my experience proves to be alot more scalable in the long run

Between the two i would go for java.
In general i would go for --- PHP!
It is faster, cheaper to develop, host, maintain.
Just make sure you build it using a php developer that knows what his doing becuase it is easy to make a mess.

I know Java is cheaper, but I'm a newbie and not versed at all in Java. I'm trying to learn html, but it is slow going. As long as I can still read it, I have no preference, but I can't read Java code.

I think you can find more hosts that support .net then java, we tested java and stopped supporting because of it's many issues in shared hosting setup.

It's impossible question same as what was first egg or chicken?
ASP vs PHP vs java
linux vs windows
etc
All depends on what kind of project you are working on...

Like they said above it really depends on what projects your working on. More people tend to lean towards java, php and ajax from what I have seen recently.

I would go with .NET. It's the most common one, as well as the easiest to use. Use Java only if you really need it, if you don't really need it then stick with .NET

Kind Regards!
