I am Basically a java developer and completed the certification in SCJP1.6. I have worked on 3 different projects in java. Recently my employer has given me a task in .net project which takes few months to work. I feel depressed and feel like I am away from java and working on .net would not help me. Is my thinking right? Is it fine to learn both the technologies?
I've worked with .Net. I survived the experience. Admittedly, if I'd been pressed to do nothing but .Net, I'd have looked for another job, since I don't like being tied to Microsoft (and I don't trust MS not to do things that won't work under Mono).
However, as an occasional diversion, my .Net experience, like the work I've done in Python has broadened my outlook, allowing me to see alternative ways of solving problems. And that, I think, is one of my greatest assets.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

++ on that. Exposure is always good. If you are exposed to tiny amounts of other technology, that can only be a good thing.
To my surprise, I got a call from IBM as there is an requirement for java developer with .net knowledge. I been working on this .net for few days from now. I involved in the log4net implementation. Its really good and there is no big difference in the ASP and C#.
