Java Developer Resource Center is Live!

If you're a Java developer who needs to interoperate with, learn about, or migrate to the .NET Framework, MSDN can be a pretty daunting place for information and a lot of the content seems focused on COM to .NET or VB6 to .NET. Well Brian Keller and I (among others) just launched the Java Developer Resource Center at: https://msdn.microsoft.com/java/ to be a one-stop shop for Java developer resources on MSDN. 

Below is a quick list of the content available on the site

• Interoperability - What options are available for .NET and J2EE interoperability

• • .NET and J2EE Platform 4-page interoperability poster and Simon Guest's open letter to the community on interoperability

  • Three samples chapters from Simon’s .NET and J2EE Interoperability Toolkit book

  • MSDN articles on interoperability

• Learning - Learn or evaluate C# or J# and the .NET Framework

  • C# Language for Java Developers whitepaper

  • Visual Studio .NET 2003 Interactive Simulation

  • Resources to get you started including PAG patterns, tutorials, quickstarts, and other resources on GDN and MSDN

  • Downloads, Downloads, Downloads 

• Migration - Migrate legacy Java assets to the .NET Framework

• • Java Language Conversion Assistant resources

  • Visual J# .NET resources

  • Java Virtual Machine migration resources
