Good coverage of topics dear to Java programmers

I am a Java programmer by profession and have been recently tinkering with C#. Since, I was told that C# is very easy to pick up for Java programmers, I started converting one of my Java projects to C# and hit a roadblock when I spend quite a lot of time debugging one particular issue. Turns out that in C#
methods are not polymorphic by default, whereas in Java they are.

BIG DIFFERENCE! I had to rethink the way I had designed my class hierarchy and the access modifiers on my methods.

I later glanced at chapter 5 of this just to see if the authors talk about this, and I was impressed by the coverage. If only I had read this chapter before I had started converting my program.

I have since then, become less adventurous and am reading more about threads, IO and reflection in C#. A lot of it is very different from Java.

I am glad I have this book. Its a good reference for me to know
what mistakes I am not supposed to make...
