The time was short, I now had only one month to go from Java to C#.NET.
Lucky for me the similarities between Java and C#.NET are clear so I could take use of my Java experience. By the way for Java developers emigrating to C#.NET this website is a good start to have a look at. It compares the Microsoft C# programming language to Sun Microsystems’ Java programming language.
