in reply to Perl Programmer Learning C#, Seeking Helpful Resources, Tips

The biggest hurdle to overcome when moving your mind-set between the two languages is simply that C# is a fully-compiled and strongly-typed language, whereas Perl is highly dynamic and essentially type-less.   Java (not JavaScript) is a fairly good corollary, although there is one other important consideration:   C# is designed for use in a Microsoft-centric, dot-Net environment, period.   To fully understand C# as in to be truly effective with it, you’ll need to study the environment in which it stands.
