C# From a Java Developer's Perspective

Posted by timothy on Monday November 19, 2001 @08:30AM 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.

any language that is completely controlled by one entity is bad for the industry.
