The similarities between C# and Java are immediate and obvious, but Java programmers need to overcome certain challenges before they can get up to speed with C#. The expert authors of this title have written the perfect guide to help Java developers move past pitfalls and learn to make use of C#. The authors demonstrate the syntactical and architectural similarities between the two languages-and what's different in C#-to transform Java developers into productive C# developers as quickly and painlessly as possible.

User Review:
This was truely an amazing book, I've read many .NET books, all of which assume zero knowledge of programming, or very little. So when I skipped the first few chapters, or skipped them (Since I've been a Java Developer for several years), I missed valuable differences between Java and .NET.

Be sure you do know your stuff in Java, or else this book will seem over your head. This is not a beginners book. But if you're a Java developer, or have similar programming experience, this book is 100% for you.

My only quirk with this book, is that at times, it's more of a refrence/comparison, over how to use several key .NET features. And it seemed to jump around a little. So actually I'd probably rate this book a 4.75...but rounding up gives us a 5, which it pretty much deserves.

I highly recomend this book out there for anyone who is NOT a beginner programmer, or comes from a Java background. This book is a MUST read for you.
