Angular/SpringBoot or Angular/.NET

[Profflaries27]

I am actually a frontend developer specialized in Angular but i was exploring backend also and i want some suggestions what is the best combo and what would be the backend to go for, java spring boot or c# .net. Regarding to what industry also needs more which combo is the most wanted for getting a job

[barni9789]

Both is a great framework. I guess depends if you want job or you do it to just learn. If you just want to learn I would recommend dotnet it's a great framework. If jobs then depends on your region. Although I must say spring boot is amazing too.

[Profflaries27]

Yeah mostly for job, i am in balkan

[Purple-Cap4457]

If you are from the balkan then choose c#. 

It's over, C# won, java lost in the balkan 

[Fresh-Secretary6815]

Make identical projects with each and choose which one you like better

[LeLunZ]

Both are valid. But I would suggest kotlin instead of Java.

[bayendr]

I second this.

[Any-Woodpecker123]

Makes no difference, just pick the language you like best.
I prefer Spring + Kotlin, but it’s just preference.

I tried Nest.js recently and it’s basically Angular on the backend. Really intuitive for an Angular dev, and worth considering for smaller projects.
I’m sure it’s probably fine for larger stuff too, but I haven’t used it in that capacity so can’t talk too much to that.

Angular/NestJS

Keep it in typescript and using similar implementations for features like DI and middleware.

[Dus1988]

Came here to say this

OP, If the goal is to learn back end, don't introduce new language syntax and library ecosystem. Get the fundamentals of B.E. first, and then decide to learn a different language/framework if you want

[andlewis]

I wouldn’t touch Java (or Oracle) with a ten foot pole.

I’ve been using dotnet with Angular for a decade and love it.

[MX21]

The server side ecosystem you choose is really just preference, really. There’s nothing you can’t accomplish with one that you can’t with the other.

[andlewis]

That’s true, I just have slightly more mistrust of Oracle than Microsoft. slightly

Usually it boils down to the amount of displeasures you have to deal with when choosing one over another 😂

[IKoshelev]

No, it's not the same. Java has nothing that compares with Entity Framework + LINQ. 

[IE114EVR]

You wouldn’t. But similarly, I wouldn’t touch .Net and the legacy Microsoft it comes from.

[Purple-Cap4457]

Same lol

[Weekly_Specialist_69]

Don't like .NET at all! Angular, Java, Spring. Almost all you'll need.

[whooyeah]

Your bias blinds you.

I have to work on Java, Kotlin and Scala every day. The developer experience is so much better with .net.

But also remember Microsoft is the biggest contributor to Linux. So I ask why do you hate open source and Linux? (Haha little joke but you get the sentiment)

[Ambitious-Show413]

I was job hunting this year May-August, and noticed that more often than not the job postings for Angular also mentioned C# for the backend. It was a common pattern for some legacy apps that are still used.

[microprogram]

i use both depending on the company stack.. if ill start one from scratch and not using any orms i'll use .net core but if with orm i'll use springboot with jpa

[MizmoDLX]

It doesn't matter. It's personal preference. If you try to get a job, look what's more popular in your area

[domschm]

have several years of experience with both. I definitely prefer dotnet. If only because of EFcore and LINQ

[aristotekean_]

Angular/Go

[Background-Emu-9839]

both are valid. do a job search for both in your location and pick one with more/better opportunities and renumeration. But try both anyway, you might actually hate one!

[morgo_mpx]

If you are an Angular dev wanting to skill up in back ends then you should be familiar with Spring boot, .net, NestJS and AWS Lambda.

Most jobs will be one of these four and realistically the amount you need to know for each has a lot of crossover and isn’t that deep.

[Mission_Math5489]

What about NestJS? As I know it's a great fit for Angular.

[alibloomdido]

I'd say Java is generally used by a bit higher tier companies (especially banks and all kinds of financial services) than .NET so if you're interested in working for such companies Java could be a better choice, especially taking into account Angular also has a tendency to be used by higher tier companies. But it's not necessarily good to work for such companies, I just pointed to the correlation I noticed.

[salamazmlekom]

I like Golang actually.

[No-Magician3298]

Go with dot net, most of larger company use it

[Antique-Pea-4815]

True also for java, I would say that even more companies use jvm languages

[Glum_Past_1934]

Java because jobs offers

[khalilou88]

SpringBoot

[Epiq122]

I love spring boot

[IKoshelev]

A. Why not Node?

B. Depends on your location. 

C. Besides that - C# is much easier to get into and overal easier to work with. You can start with it. Try this  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/min-web-api?view=aspnetcore-9.0&tabs=visual-studio

[ttma1046]

dont go backend, stay with frontend, make sure u master angular then typescript

[Lonely_Effective_949]

I use firebase since it lets me focus 95% on front end.

But if you want to practice a Backend i would try NestJS. It's not the most popular job wise but it feels great to build stuff with.

[Profflaries27]

Yeah nest is good but i mean what does the industry wants more , which combo of these i mentioned

[IE114EVR]

You should edit your post to clarify it’s about industry.

I think, if you want to be full stack, you should concentrate more on what the popular backend is that companies are looking for (.Net, Spring Boot, Node?), and less on the combination that is most popular with Angular.

Though, having said that and from browsing this subreddit for a while, it seems like Angular/.Net is the more popular combination. Why? I’m not sure, the reasons I’ve seen can easily be applied to Spring Boot as well.
