.Net gravy train switching tracks?

They want ex-Java developers because they want somebody who understands and thinks OO rather than just thinking that "Class1" is a place to put your long, monolithic program. C# is strong in terms of OO features, but the developers using it are often a long way behind.

.Net has been around for 8 years now. They dont need ex java developers. Your theory is about 7 years out of date.

The culture of C# developers is somewhat different to the culture of Java developers - at least in my opinion.

Indeed, another reason not to emply java bods. Glad we agree

I suppose the easiest way of picking up C# is to try converting a vb.net app and see what issues I get.

I thought you didnt have the time? As I said at the very beginning, its VERY easy. Stop faffing about with converters and just spend a couple of hours studying the different syntax.

And learn how to put at least some of your application code outside "Class1"

Ok, I'll make time. Between posting on here and supping tea.

Going to start with a bit of reading:

I might even get round to opening Visual Studio today.

I though anything but Class1 would be slower? Like second class post.

I'm looking for a .NET to SAP converter.

I'm looking for a .NET to SAP converter.

Isn't there a SAP.net on the horizon?

[NotAllThere]

Don't bother. Everything in SAP will be in Java.

Without wanting to sound like a nitpicker, is there some subtle distinction between C# and C##, or is C## a hybrid of C# and C++ ?!

(Not being sarky, honest - There's no end to all the new computer thingies popping up all the time, and I'm genuinely curious)

No - it's not a new language. It's this bl00dy keyboard at tightwad Clientco that sticks - it's had about four pints of tea thrown over it and they still won't replace it.
