Moving from VB.Net to C# [closed]

Question

I'm seriously considering moving from VB.Net to C#. If you made the jump to C# from vb.net, then what were the best resources you used to learn the language going from novice to pro?

Thanks

Answer 1

I think you have two questions:

• What does it take to move from VB.NET to C#?, and
• What does it take to move from a novice to a pro?

Others have answered the first question.

A great resource that will help with the second is the Beginner's Developer Center. For those new to .NET but not really beginners, I would suggest MSDN Ramp Up.

Answer 2

There is no reason why one must move from VB.NET to C#.NET or vice versa. They both utilize the same framework api and tools. So, I find no point in migrating from VB.NET to C#.NET or vice versa.

Answer 3

Oddly this reverse question might help you understand the areas in which things differ.

If C# programmers need to be told certain things then there must be a difference to the way VB.NET works:
