C# From a Java Developer's Perspective

Posted by timothy on from the curve-before-a-meeting-of-lines dept.

Microsoft's C# has raised eyebrows, interest and debate since its official announcement last year. The prolific Carnage4Life (Dare Obasanjo) has completed a detailed comparison of C# and Java, outlining the things that are identical, similar, nearly the same, or completely different between the two languages. If you're considering learning or applying either one, you might benefit by reading this paper first. There are some other excellent comparisons to be found linked from the Open Directory Project as well.

    C# is just another attempt by Microsoft to coopt the programming world. Stick with 'C', C++, Perl, Python, etc. Once C3 and .NET become entrenched you will be sorry!

    I agree with you, but then the Java and C# examples of "jagged arrays" aren't multidimensional arrays either: just arrays of arrays.

    Actually, that isn't what you'll call a multidimensional array, you know.
    It works the same, though.
