Honestly, once you wrap your head around Java, you’ll be 90% there on understanding .NET. Most of the differences are subtle (and non-headache inducing) – whereas the hump of polymorphism and primitives versus reference types you’ll have already completely conquered. Even the base language syntax between Java and C# is 99.9% the same.

The only big day-to-day difference between the two is which functionality is in which class/namespace – and that’s what Google is for.

Keep up the great work at challenging yourself.

Yeah, it does help burn a few things into your head. I’m just easily bored, so doing stuff like that above is hard for me. I’d rather be doing interesting things, y’know? But by all means post samples on your blog! It would add more for me to read. :P

Even simple code helps commit the stuff you’re reading to memory. Hopefully, I can start posting code samples to go along with my JoS entries, soon. You’re a step ahead of me, there. :D

Ah-ha, I’ll be sure to include some sample code. But right now it’s literally horribly simple. Like…

import java.util.StringTokenizer;
 
public class TokenTester
{
	public static void main(String[] arguments)
	{
		StringTokenizer st1, st2;
 
		String quote1 = "VIZY 3 -1/16";
		st1 = new StringTokenizer(quote1);
		System.out.println("Token 1: " + st1.nextToken());
		System.out.println("Token 2: " + st1.nextToken());
		System.out.println("Token 3: " + st1.nextToken());
 
		String quote2 = "NPLI@9 27/32@3/32";
		st2 = new StringTokenizer(quote2, "@");
		System.out.println("\nToken 1: " + st2.nextToken());
		System.out.println("Token 2: " + st2.nextToken());
		System.out.println("Token 3: " + st2.nextToken());
	}
}

Would be cool if you could post some of the sample code you’re playing with in this posts, I’d be interested in seeing the similarities with what I know about .NET. :)
