Java is mature...however, a beginner may not stand any chance to
compete against industry bigwigs. On the other hand, .NET is newer and
gives newbies a relatively firm foothold, since there are hardly
experienced ppl there. Also, I'm interested in computer security
involving low level coding in C, C++. Which platform will be better for
me keeping this in view?
