So I was wondering, how similar are C# and Java?

I learned C# early on because I like the sound of it. There are about 5 different variations of it though. It's more or less just choosing the one that is most comfortable for you.

please correct me if I am wrong..

I learned and currently using C# in my current job. I started my career with C++ than moved to Java and so while learning C#..it almost took no time. Everything in C# is either Java or C++...while writing simple programs, its looked like that i am still using java with different compiler which understands some different API...
In my early days with C#, i always kept looking for equivalent of session beans n entity beans, struts...n other stuff that we are so used to in Java. And it was surprising that many of them don't exist (or not popular) in Microsoft world!.
but now after getting used to it, i find C# good. Its find it faster to code in C# than any other languages. I am with a company that provides solutions (yes i am part of the bad word called 'outsourcing') and although most on this forum may not agree, i see many clients inclined toward .Net these days. IMHO .net is upcoming market. There may never be dearth of job for pure Java guys but I am sure that learning .net is a good move.

The interesting thing is how many of the things I liked about C# have made their way into Java.

Side note: Tim O'Reilly does a talk on the analysis of book sales, and C# book sales are WAY below Java (as is all other languages), but... C# book sales are on a slight upward trend. So, people are buying them which means people are wanting and/or needing to learn C#.

Who needs to [i]read about it when it's all so intuitive?
