Which role to choose Software developer or .net developer

In the present scenario the software development is very emerging area where the plenty of opportunity are available. If we are going to consider the last couple year back, then we could be able to see the tremendous growth of the field. Let us consider the example of full stack Development where the developer is having plenty of opportunity. But in this field the developer must have the complete idea towards the development of the application. During the application development process, they need to understand the concept of all the layers such as Data source layer, Application layer and Presentation layer. Because these layers are the most essential component for any application that are going to be get designed. It is the end-to-end product development strategy. In full stack development, you could be able to get the essence of front-end, middleware and backend complete programming idea.

In this blog I will let you know about the better career prospect related to software developer and .net Developer and their relevant scope.

Career Aspect:

If we are going to analyse the problem scenario then choosing a framework for developing the application is not easy especially if you are a newbie and when you start reflecting on your future as a software developer. To get the particular aspect and be mastering in any programming language takes long hours and an effort you don’t want to waste. If during this process you are going to view the problem in bit other aspect, then it’s stressful to think that the wrong option might lead you to a job where you will have to change your knowledge base again.

Software development is a very vast area where lot of options are gotten available. But if we are looking into more deep sense then only few emerging areas are present where you can redeem your future talent.  Here I am going to discuss about two relevant area such as: Java or .NET. That’s already a huge move forward. Both options are already a kind of win. Java and .NET are both well-established and are used for enterprise-level development. 

Market Trends Analysis:

Here I am going to discuss about the job market for these two areas. As per the analysis being made in previous year of April 2020, some of the reputed Job sites are having their report that I would like to discuss here.

1. Monster.com lists more than 41k jobs for “Java Developer” and 8.5k for “.NET Developer.” 
2. According to Glassdoor, the average salary estimation for a Java developer (irrespective of level and location) is about USD 79k and USD 76.5k for an ASP.NET/C# developer.

Java Market:

1. At the present scenario, The Java is one of the most popular technologies worldwide. 
2. It is nodoubt having a very large scope and thus it often ranks first in various ratings, and this is probably the main reason developers stick to it. The technology was created in 1995.
3. It is relatively easy to learn, and there are many free training resources available. 
4. It has an enormous community that can help a newbie through the learning process. 
5. Java is suitable for almost every type of project: web applications, mobile apps, cloud computing, etc.
6. Java is a free technology, as is the Oracle JDK (Java Development Kit), or Oracle OpenJDK, that’s used to create software in Java.
7. It also makes it possible to work with other programming languages, such as Kotlin, Groovy, or Scala, which would be relatively easy to learn as an addition. 
8. It is used to support the Legacy code concept.
9. It is having High competition and very wide opportunity.

.NET Framework

In contrast to the above if we are going to consider the .NET then it is another very popular free open-source developer platform that can serve you better. It is also having the wide range of application development prospect and opportunity too. It is the product of Microsoft and used to have many utility factors associated with it.

It is used to have many feature in regards to other software programming language such as

1. It is completely Free, open, and cross-platform which is used to all the features mentioned in the above section.
2. If we relate it with Java then it is also a better option, as .NET was then fully controlled by Microsoft and ran only on Windows.
3. Coming to the latest version of the .NET platform, the .NET Core is compatible with all the major operating systems like  Windows, Linux, and iOS. 
4. It is also having the basic .NET tools which is open for immediate use and lots of add-ons for building and editing apps, as well as third-party tools. 
5. It also supports the multiple libraries built specifically for .NET make the development process even more comfortable.

Supporting application types:

1. When we are used to consider the .NET framework then it allow you to develop almost any kind of application as we like.
2. If one need to go for an enterprise-level web app, desktop or mobile software, gaming project, or even an IoT service or an AI solution.
3. It also have the capability to support the WebAssembly technology and Blazor framework.
4. The .NET can be used even for building client-side applications running in a browser.

Quick progress and regular updates:

1. Most of the library of .NET framework are used to have regular updates which makes your task much easier. 
2. Since the initial release of .NET Core back in 2016, we have received a major update almost once per year.
3. In November 2020 Microsoft plans to release another big update to the platform — .NET 5. 
4. In 2019 Microsoft introduced a roadmap for the .NET platform that gives a clear understanding of what to expect and when.

The .NET core 3.0 was get release in September after which .NET core 3.1 is get introduces. It is used to support the long-term support (LTS) and then .NET 5.0 was get released in November 2020 which is much more powerful and flexible. It has the Major releases every year and support the predicted schedule. 

Top 10 Skills to become a full-stack Java Developer

Performance:

If we are going to compare the performance basis factors then for couple of years back, the applications created either with Java or on .NET/C# had a similar level of performance. 

However, Microsoft and many third-party contributors have made some significant investments in the optimization of this aspect and continues to improve. 

C# — modern and versatile language:

The .NET when get invented then it was get designed in such a manner that it is used to support many programming languages. But among all the available options the most widely employed among them are C# (pronounced “see sharp”) and F# (which offers a more functional approach).

When we are used to consider about the C# language then it is being considered as a general-purpose and object-oriented programming language which is used to exhibit all the features that other programming language is used to provide. It was very reliable, easy to understand, well defined and implementable and more of it was having the similar syntax with C, C++. So the programmers won’t face any difficulties over there to get implement it. 

It is easy to learn and is widely used for all kinds of software development, from enterprise-level solutions to low-level IoT and gaming projects. It makes simple many features that are overly complicated in Java.
