Presentation: Tweet"C# For Java Programmers"
C# is Microsoft's mainstream language of choice for web and application development. It shares many similarities with Java, and offers a number of great innovations not yet available in Java. In this talk, Patrick will cover the C# language syntax and idioms from the perspective of someone familiar with Java. You'll learn about key similarities and differences between the Java world and C#. Finally, Patrick will walk through some great C# features, such as LINQ, function types, reified generics, and some of the places where it falls short, such as the ecosystem of third-party libraries and classloading.
