Is J# any good?

    Is J# like C#? Can you develop it for the web. I have heard it is a combination of Java and C#.



    Would it be worth learning?

    Thanks,

    J# is to Java what C# is to C++ is probably more accurate than saying it is a cross of Java and C#

    ASP.Net can be created in any language which .Net supports (VB, C#, J#, IronPython to name a few) as they all get compiled into MSIL before running on the web.

    I am not sure there would be any advantage of learning J# if you already know C# unless you have a particular commercial need to do so though it obviously never hurts to know more. Saying that I am a PM rather than true tech person so there may be subleties which i am not aware of

    j# is to java what c# is to C++ ?

    Anyway forget J#, you'll be alone with it. Just stay with C# if your platform is .net

    This isn't for web design, but for creating applications, probably should've mentioned that, I already have a good foundation in C#

    Same as above.
    But why you want to learn J#? You could use it only with .net/mono, so there is no reason to learn it if you can do the same with c#.
    99% of the sites about .net/mono use C# or C++ (it seems that VB.net is fading away).
    If you really want to learn a new language, learn Java.It's not that different from C#.

    J# was created to "port" programmer from Java to J++.
    J++ was created to crush Java (Microsoft way to dominate)
    So basically J# is an useless toy IMHO.

    If you want to learn something useful, learn Design Patterns to improve your programming skills and code design. (Or read some book about object oriented programming if you haven't yet.)
