ISV using Java today but interested in .NET for tomorrow?
A few weeks back I was asked to talk to a Java ISV about how they might move to .NET - more specfically target both the Java platform and .NET. It had been a couple of years since I had talked in this area (too much SQL Server 2005 work), so I did a search and came up with some rather useful resources. Take a look at:
- Java Language Conversion Assistant - a Microsoft tool to convert Java to C#. Download and links to case studies https://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/tools/jlca/
- Webcast on J2EE migration https://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032256488&Culture=en-US
- Starting point for Java developers looking at Microsoft .NET – includes C# for the Java Developer, links to JLCA newsgroup etc https://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/java/
- Starting point for migration https://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/java/migrate/default.aspx
- A "three day" online workshop on migration https://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/java/migrate/workshop/default.aspx
- Case studies https://msdn.microsoft.com/vjsharp/productinfo/casestudies/default.aspx
- And finally - interoperability https://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/java/interop/default.aspx
