So Pete how would you compare C# and Java? do you like C# better or is it
primarily the IDE?


I prefer C#.

But it is silly to get emotional about programming languages...:-)

Java works well with Eclipse and this was the platform for the last
commercial team I managed. Eclipse is also a good IDE but, for me, the
DotNET framework is the clincher. You CAN use it from Java but C# is
designed to work with it and I have been very impressed with how easy it
is to do things in C#. Tasks that used to take days to research, code,
debug, and finally get working now get done in minutes. The online support
is phenomenal and I have used the video tutorials to good advantage. The
organizaion of the Help for C# is MUCH better than I have found with any
other langauage. You can find what you need in minutes and so far, I have
never been disappointed when looking for help.

I'm not sorry I spent time learning Java; it helped me immensely to
understand OO COBOL and the OO grounding you get in learning Java is
excellent.

As I get more into C# I find it quite fascinating. It seems to be a very
good compromise between Java and C++.

It has a fundamental simplicity and elegance which I find very appealing,
and it borrows the good points of Java anyway...

Visual Studio is simply excellent and I think it would enhance any
language you used it with. Fujitsu DotNET COBOL uses it, and I'm sure
COBOL can be written much faster and more accurately with its support.
Once you start using it, you realise that this is the kind of tool
programmers SHOULD have had years ago...

I am now looking forward to using C# to turn my desktop application into a
Web Service. The last time I built a Web Service was several years ago and
it involved using DCOM + and wrapping it in a SOAP layer for transport. It
took me several weeks of full on hard work, reading about it (when I could
find anything about it, and trying to fill in the blanks when I couldn't)
and it was a painful process trying to test it. It finally worked, but it
was a full month of real pain.

I don't think it will be so bad this time...

Pete.
