How was your first day on .net?
-
Before i ever knew the .net framework existed, I was a diehard Java programmer, when it was owned by Sun Systems. But on my industrial attachment, I worked for a firm that dealt with Microsoft technologies only, hence, the need to interact with Visual Studio. Having interacted with Netbeans IDE, my transition to VS2008 was at the very least effortless; the imports became, 'using' (C#), and there was a visual toolbox like the one I was accustomed to with Java. And before I realized it, I was using .net libraries like System.net.sockets and liking it. I have not turned back since then, and now even consider myself a C# developer on VS2010 and using Telerik and WP7 sdk. I only interact with Java when I occasionally have to whip up some Android app. How was your first .net experience?
I used .Net (1.1) when i was in college. In my training section, my teacher showed me, how to build web page using vs controls. Then i started playing with textboxes, images and others controls and created a new website for one of my friend. One person's data is another person's program. --J.Walia

I've learned some C and C++ during college. I tried MFC for a short while, but then C# and .Net were hot new stuff and I decided to give it a try (I am rather lazy and MFC seamed like to much work :P). It felt so easy, natural and intuitive that I've never looked back to MFC.

I tried to upgrade an old VB6 app to VB .net and got more compilation errors than a typical C++ solution, So I went back to using C++ for a while; never even tried C# at that point. When I started my next job they insisted on using C#, I tried it and have barely looked back since. Well unless I need to play with GPGPU for fun, then I will put my C head on ;P
