A few years ago I needed to straddle Java and C# development (coming from a mostly Java perspective). I picked up a book called:
"C# for Java Developers" that helped out quite a bit. I know you're going the other direction, but the book actually works fairly well for that too. Anytime I have a developer that is needing to ramp up on one of these languages while being proficient in the other, I toss them this book to help them out. Alas, both Java and C# have evolved significantly since this book was first published (perhaps there's a newer edition?), hence you won't see coverage of things like generics. Also, in Java, all our development in our shop uses the Java Concurrency library APIs instead of the raw Java Thread class stuff - whenever we need to do anything with explicit multi-threading. This book would tend to talk about the explicit Thread classes, etc. But you are just starting out after all. --Roger On Jun 18, 12:58 pm, "Gary Coates" <[email protected]> wrote: > Just wanted to say hello to everyone in the group and was looking for a > little advice.
