Learning .NET

[Supine]

I am experienced in Java programming and will need to do .NET development in the future. Can anyone recommend any good web sites, books, or other resources to get up to speed with this environment. The C# language is so similar to Java that I will pick that up very quickly, but I need to get to know the .NET framework.

Cheers,
Russell.

You should be able to pick up .net in a couple of days easily. Any of the o'reilly books would be good

It's basically covers most of the language features which are pretty much the same as Java, but if you know C++ you'll already be fimiliar with many of the things available in C# (such as overloaded operators and generics).

But coming from Java take a look at the operator overloading, structs (class that are contained on the stack instead of the heap), generics (not sure if java has something like it but it's similar to C++ templates) and properties (sugar coated accessor/mutator methods).

If you like C++ you can also take a look at unsafe code (Wonder if someone's gonna flame me ), which allows you to use pointers in C#
