It depends... Are you preparing for certification or just interested in evaluating what you've learned for your own benefit?

If it's the latter, I would recommend designing a simple application that employs the technologies that you've learned and then build it. For me, there's nothing like the experience of applying knowledge hands-on right after I've studied to burn that knowledge into my brain.

very true, in programming u cant learn without hands-on.. or rather it'll be much faster to absorb cause u can change here and there.. debug and see.. blah xD

Explain for me why C# and Java are soo much a like. In fact, a lot (and I mean A LOT) of people consider C# (or the .NET FRAMEWORK) for that matter is nothing by a carbon copy of Java.

Happy brainstorming.

:rolleyes:

Java is the most original thought in the universe. It didn't borrow from any language. It was built in a vacuum. You won't seen any thoughts from C, Simula or Smalltalk. You Java guys really need to get over yourselves.

If the .NET Framework was a carbon copy of Java, it would, by definition, inherit Java's pitiful performance...

Just so you know, I'm a C# developer. I studied Java at university and that was it. I still do some random stuff with Java (you know, tinkering around).

Ambiguity at its best. I would like you to show data. In the end, we're talking about programming languages here.

While I'm a C# developer and I've not worked with Java extensively, I can say that the language syntax is almost identical in many respects. I believe that's because both languages were designed to attract the C / C++ developers so the 'C' style syntax was adopted.

As for the framework, there are many differences between Java and .Net (especially in the latest versions). Both have advantages depending on the environment for which you are developing.

Hey, similarly to you I only really learnt Java at uni. I have no experience with C#/.NET, but I see a lot of C# developer jobs for graduates. If I'm skilled in Java, am I skilled in C#? Obviously I'd like to familiarise myself with any nuances - would this take long?

If you're skilled in Java it's easy to transition to C#, but you're definitely not necessarily proficient with the .NET framework which is basically the whole point of moving to C# in the first place.

the most similar thing between c# and java to me is because java compiles to bytecode. just like how c# has IL codes.. and not only that i find the syntax quite similar however ms is a big company and they said theyll devote a lot of time on .net.. thats why .net framework expands so fast.. faster than java can.. now we already have wpf and stuffs using c# easily.. more and more things are added for convenience .. the .net framework base is really big.. and c# has things like asp.net

When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
