✦ Synopsis

.NET for Java Developers is the definitive guide
to leveraging your Java programming experience in the .NET
environment. Understanding the similarities and differences between
the C# and Java APIs enables Java programmers to quickly begin
rapid application Windows development using C#. The numerous code
examples, which have been tested using Visual Studio .NET
2003 and Java 1.4, show readers how to create feature-rich .NET
applications by translating Java coding practices into C#.

The authors begin by detailing the .NET Framework and then
immediately introduce readers to coding and the Visual Studio
.NET IDE. They compare the features of C# and Java, and provide a
systematic analysis of how the two languages relate to each other.
Readers cover the essentials of C# programming, from object
creation to event programming, before moving into advanced areas,
such as database access, XML processing, GUI programming, and
reflection.

Key topics that explain how to do smart C# programming rather
than emulating Java code in C#:

Database access

Inheritance and polymorphism

Thread programming

Garbage collection and memory management

C# application deployment

Delegates

Processing XML

.NET for Java Developers provides Java developers,
programmers, and architects with experience-based advice for a
successful transition into the .NET environment.
