Tips of Converting from Java to C# & .NET

Hi,

I'm an experienced Java developer, mainly working on GUI front ends.
I've decided its time to try and pick up C# and .NET and add another
string to my bow. Any tips on what tools I should be using, what sites
to visit, what books to take a look at.

Any info gratefully appreciated.

microsoft world !

You could start with the Express Version of Visual Studio:

MSDN also has a section on C# for Java developers:

Hi, I'm from a VB background but am having to learn Java for a new project we have at work. Can anyone suggest a decent way to learn it (and fairly fast). Will be using JBuilder 7, have a few manuals on my desk but basically have no idea where to start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a need to convert a number into the character that it represents. For example, if I have: <xsl:variable name="number" select="169"/> I want to be able to convert this to the character which is represented by the number( in this example, it would be the hardcoded character © the copyright character) for output.

I have a website ( http://www.zen62775.zen.co.uk ) that I made HTML 4.01 Transitional and CSS compliant, and I'm thinking of converting it into XHTML to learn a little about it. Which XHTML variant would you recommend? The w3c HTML validator mentions XHTML 1.0 Transitional, Basic, Strict, and XHTML 1.1. Would I be able to make my existing CSS work in the XHTML page without modification to the .css file?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
