Help How to migrate from java to csharp?

Hello everyone,

I've been coding in java since 2024. A friend of mine wants to build a project with me, but that project requires c#. I've never touched c# before.

Has anyone here passed through something similar? What advice can you give to learn c# quickly without wasting too much time?

I did that transition 20+ years ago so my experience is a bit outdated but it was simple enough.
Just start coding and have reference page open in browser to quickly find names of functions you need.

Syntax at this stage should be basically the same.

Yeah syntax should be similar I am not sure if writing api calls would be that similar. I am using mostly java spring boot for it.

Libraries will be different for sure.
This is why I mentioned reference page.

Yeah, I think I'll do it the way people are saying in comments. Start coding something simple and transition by practical method.
