From Java to C#: A Developer's Guide Review by Pete Whitaker
Essence of C# for Java Developers
Mok's book is the best amongst the few targeted at the same group of Java audience. It focuses specifically on the new C# language, rather than how to make use of Visual Studio.net (which really isn't what I was looking for - I mean, Visual Studio.net is just an IDE, & I think the emphasis on learning a new language such as C# should be placed on the language itself, rather than the tool.)
This book will appeal to current Java developers who needs to pick up C# (the langauge) as quickly as possible. There is no beating about the bush, though important language concepts which may affect the design & architecture of your program are covered with sufficient detail. I particularly enjoyed reading the 1st chapter on a brief intro to .net as a whole. That chapter itself gave me a really strong foundation on .NET, & puts things in clear eagle-view perspective.
If you are a Java developer, & want to pick up C# quickly, this is the book to get. If you don't know Java, look elsewhere.
