I've never done anything like this, nor am I a particularly skilled ASP.NET developer, but I did find this article here. Not sure if it will help or not, but it seems to be fairly explanatory.

My first language was PHP (Actually BASIC, but that doesn't count), and I really liked it. I still like it to some extent, but more from a rapid prototyping standpoint.

I have since come to my senses, and prefer Java. I like that for the most part it is a platform independent language, and that there are a variety of IDEs available that help you code. I've never been a big fan of Visual Studio, but I have used it before. C# is very similar to Java, and I suppose if I needed to I could probably (eventually) get used to it and be as familiar with it as I am with Java.

There are a lot of people that complain about Java being slow, and that other languages are faster. That may be true, but I've never been bothered by it.

I also like that there are so many Java libraries out there that can be leveraged so you don't have to reinvent the wheel to do something common (e.g. deserializing a JSON message). It is an extremely robust platform, and I have yet to come across something that I cannot do with Java. That being said, I'm certain there are plenty of things you can't do with it, or at least not easily accomplish. I may not be an advanced enough developer to have encountered any of those situations, but for now, Java is my language of choice.
