Reading through Intech yesterday, I found interesting articles about the .NET Framework and J2EE. It's actually a respond from Microsoft PR about the articles published in InTech last week (Oct 7) (which I already read it). The article title Smackdown 2: Websphere vs. .NET. The article is a head to head comparison of IBM Websphere environment to develop web services application on J2EE with the Microsoft offfering on .NET platform. This topic is really fascinated me before (since it .NET first released back then) but still yet to explore the technology. Today I made a few search on Google just to learn an introduction about these things. I already have the .NET FAQ by Andy McMullan. Hope I could finished it and jump to an intro of J2EE.
