I don't know if these two are complete mutual exclusives, but can anyone give a 'top-line' of the benefits/pitfalls of using ASP.NET vs Java these days?

A follow-up question is this...in general, how does C# fit in with ASP.NET?

I've been using ASP.NET and SQL Server 2000 to build some prototypes, and so far am pretty impressed with it....but I know next to nothing about C#. (I used to program in C++ until about 1995).

Are there any Web Sites that compare .NET with Java?

Thanks,
Kevin
