There is a great deal of analysis going on the relative shortage of .NET Developers and Java developers in the US. According to a report released last September, the shortage of .NET developers has affected companies in all US states. The problem with the shrinking number of .NET developers is partly attributed to the fact that most professionals are concerned whether they will be able to move out to different platforms in the near future after they specialize in .NET application development. It is not easy for .NET engineers to branch out to multiple platforms, according to analysts. Additionally, software development professionals are concerned about the money gap since .NET developers are getting paid less that their Java counterparts on an average.
