Summary: Very Pleased
Review: Before I found this book, I was rather lost. I was trying to learn C# and the framework using the docs that came with the .Net Framework installation and was only getting so far. I didn't feel like I was learning it comprehensively.Even though this book is large, it's easy to read, has example code throughout, and covers a lot of what I needed to know. It had a breadth I found lacking in other Java to .Net books. Unlike the other books I looked at, this one provides enough information so that you learn how to compile the example code using the free command-line compilers of the .Net Framework SDK rather than making you get Visual Studio.

Summary: .NET is cool
Review: First of all, this is not a book for beginners. There are tons of books out there for beginners and this is not one of them - you must know something about Java. However if your are an experienced Java programmer, then this is the book for you. I have not read the book to the end but it has been really valuable. It breaks down different parts of the .NET framework and shows how things work. It should be noted that most people will get by without knowing a lot of the stuff that is covered in this book but for programmers who are interested in the hows and whys in .NET, this book has to be on your shelf.

Summary: Complete but dense
Review: I can't fault this book, other than to say that
it can be hard going at times. The writers assume
that you know how something works in Java, which
suited me most of the time but meant that I found
a couple of the very advanced chapters a bit of hard
work. A good book if you are a Java programmer who wants
to learn C#/.

Summary: pleasantly surprised
Review: i could have sworn this book was from microsoft press. This book did a *great* job of being unbiased, and presented "just the facts". It did so in such a clear manner as well, straightforwardly laying out the similarities and differences between java and C#, and each's strengths and weaknesses (briefly). definitely recommended!

Summary: very good book
Review: I don't buy a lot of technical books anymore because I can usually find what I need online. But this book is a must-read for java programmers. It clarified a lot of fuzzy general notions in my head of the best ways of doing certain things and how things work in .nET

Summary: Ultimate Java to C# Book
Review: I found this book to be a thorough and excellent insight in to the .NET world and is a must for Java programmers developing in C#
Rating:
Summary: Very Good Book
Review: I have purchased a few of the C# and .NET books for Java people,
and this is the best. The feature that stands out for this book
is the great Java to C# class reference, so you can look upa
Java class and find out which C# class does the same thing.

Summary: Surprisingly unbiased and very informative
Review: I was fairly reluctant to purchase this book at first because it was from Microsoft. However I found it surprisingly unbiased and very informative. I would recommend this book for a seasoned Java developer who is looking for quick reference into the .Net world of C#. The book is focused more on the language rather than the architecture. After reading this book you will find that .Net has very similar architectural concept as the JDK1.3 and some parts of J2EE 1.2 (the rest of J2EE is yet to come. Version 2 of .Net perhaps?) The Authors are ex Java developers who explain the similarities and dissimilarities between the two platforms including the pluses and minuses in a reference style.
