CS04 - Java to C# Conversion - 1 Day

Course Description

A course designed for Java programmers looking for a concise overview of the differences between the two languages, also concentrating on the features introduced into C#.

Pre-requisites

Programming experience with Java.

Objectives

Many Java developers assume that they can code C# knowing only a few of the differences between the languages.

There are many features of C# that Java developers may well be unaware of and this course also aims to show them all the differences enabling them to be profficient in C#.

Environment

Lecture based, with live demonstrations of concepts covered.

Customisation

For on-site courses (i.e. at your premises), we are more than happy to tailor the course agenda to suit your exact requirements. In many cases, we are able to build your in-house standards and naming conventions into the delivered course.
