Ask HN: Advice on Transitioning to C#?

2 pointsby smorgusofborgabout 3 years ago
In recent years it seemed to me like C# has become the cleanest choice among the mainstream languages one encounters in local job ads, etc. As someone who has used a lot of different languages I'm wondering what the best path is to getting a sense of being a C# developer. I would appreciate it if anyone is interested in answering some of my questions like: If you switched to C# what resources did you use (would the same resources still be appropriate today), what IDE, how would you categorize the type of projects you've worked on in industry in C#? If your background was not on windows, did you fully transition over and how did the transition go?

My experience was from 2013ish so it may not be applicable here.<p>Best IDE and environment for C# is Visual Studio (not vs code) on windows. For me, C# is the best if you want to handle monetary transaction, due to it&#x27;s native decimal data type. It is the worst to handle frontend (html) due to their static data types (cmiiw).

&quot;what resources did you use (would the same resources still be appropriate today)&quot;<p>worry on them?<p>they&#x27;re as many as that of Java&#x27;s, just differs in pushing us to grope a bit more into our pockets
