C# for Java Programmers

By Harold Cabrera

Java Programmers, Preprare for Microsoft's .NET initiative while enhancing your repertoire and marketability with C# for Java Progammers C# for Java Programmers will prepare readers for the .NET framework by building on what they already know about object-oriented languages and give them the means to maintain their flexibility and effectiveness in an un-certain marketplace. This book will compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of both Java and C# to allow programmers to make their own decisions regarding what each language is best used for. Whatever your feelings are about Microsoft and its .NET initiative, there can be no denying that C# is here to stay. The C# language, a close cousin to Java, is a new object-oriented programming language (OOPL) designed to work within the .NET framework. It improves upon many of the vague or ill-defined areas of C++ that frequently lead programmers into trouble. C# is a strongly-typed, object-oriented language designed to give the optimum blend of simplicity, expressiveness, and performance. This description may be from another edition of this product.

A superb book

If you're looking for a book that covers it all without bogging you down with impractical details, this is it--the author takes you through .NET technology from the perspective of a Java programmer. There are plenty of good, concise, working examples along with clear and easy-to-follow explanations. All in all, an excellent book written by a very knowledgeable group of people.

Covers it all....

This one covers it all...makes the shift between the two languages as simple as possible. The book is clearly written from the perspective of people who are not only familiar with C# and the .NET platform, but can also sympathize with those of us who feel we have already invested so much time into Java, why switch now? (like you don't already know the answer to that question...come on, it might hurt to admit it but its obvious...
