Are you interested in developing apps for Windows phone and Windows 8 and you already got the skills to code in Java.
After few years developing in Java, I have finally decided to switch to C# with .net Framework. There are several reasons for this decision which I will going to explain in this series.
Every time I talk to students on creating apps, I kept hearing the same thing which they don’t know how to code in C#.
This is why I'm going to show some tips and trick’s to code in C# from a Java projective .
Take in mind that you can actually develop an app for Windows 8 in either C# , C++ or even JavaScript and HTML5. Learn more here
Check out this useful book that I read by Rob Miles called C Sharp from Java Orange Book.that shows you how to code C# from a Java projective.
Keep tuned as I will be posting Tip’s biweekly every Thursday.
Tip #1
Simple Class
Java
1: class Student{
2: Private String _name;
3:
4: public Student (String Name)
5: {
6: _name = Name;
7: }
8:
9: public void setname (String Name) //Set
10: {
11: _name = Name;
12: }
13:
14: public String getname () //Get
15: {
16: return name;
17: }
18:
19: }
P.S If you tried to copy this code to a C# app, It will totally work.
C#
1: class Studnet
2: {
3:
4: public String _name {set; get;}
5:
6: public Student (String Name)
7: {
8: _name = Name;
9: }
10:
11: }
As you can see, I needed only 4 lines of code in C# where as 9 in Java.
One last thing , If you started coding in C# and you got some tips that you would like to share , let me know and maybe we can share your experience.You can reach me at t-ramdeb@microsoft.com
