Learning Java from a C# background

Question

For complicated reasons (not C#'s fault I love that language very much) I have to learn Java. I hate learning new langages and i dont wanna have to learn what I already know from C#.

What are some resources that teach whats different without learning it all?

I am also in the same boat as you. Last i heard Java was still in the 2000s — masfenix, Jul 04 '10 at 16:27
"I hate learning new languages" strikes me as a really odd thing to say if you're developer. — Brian Rasmussen, Jul 04 '10 at 16:45
@Brian Rasmussen what i mean is i get frustrated by not being able to do simple things i can do easily in other languages. — user377419, Jul 04 '10 at 16:57

I realize this isn't a very specific answer, but the best advice I can give you is to not go into it with the "I hate learning new languages" mindset. If you're familiar with C#, Java will be a piece of cake. Depending on what you're working on, most of your questions can easily be answered by a quick look at the API documentation. I don't think you have to worry about "learning it all".

The problem won't be the syntax but the framework. Since I'm not a Java developer either, I'm not sure where to look. But I suggest looking into the frameworks you'll be working with instead of syntax.
