Guest toggle Report post Posted May 1, 2002 I'm a CS major with about a year of experience coding in Java. A classmate of mine is singing the praises of C# and .NET. I haven't had any experience with C#, so I'm wondering what other people think of it. In other words, should I hurry up and get on board or is Java still the hot language?

Guest The Man in Blak Report post Posted May 1, 2002 Given that, from what I've seen, that C++ is the industry standard for a lot of software development, I wouldn't exactly call Java a hot language unless you're dealing strictly with distributed applications. I don't know anything about C#, but from what I understand, the .net version of C++ is just supposed to be the same as the other versions of Visual C++ but with more available libraries (probably those that are related to Microsoft's .net initiative). Here's a link to some C# resources, though: http://www.hitmill.com/programming/dotNET/csharp.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest toggle Report post Posted May 3, 2002 Thanks for the link. I'm basically going on what I've heard companies are looking for when they hire programmers. It seems like you have to know Java. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
