Java or .NET as a whole.

I have experience in php and i want to learn either .net or java, i know i can find lots of forum on this but i am still not getting it.

I know the basic difference between .net and java but What i want to know is:

First which one is fast(Not hard) to learn.

Second which one has got resources available free on the net. so that i wont get any problem to learn myself.

Third in the current situation in india( or anywhere in demand) which one has got job opportunity more, currently or in near future.

Thanks for your reply.
