[C#] A test that will test my knowledge?

[sathenzar]

Hey guys, is there a test on the internet somewhere that would test my knowledge in C#? I think I know a good bit now but I want to put it to the test to just see how much I really do know.

Create a product. Attract users. Profit.

Any other test is frivolous.

If wanna do it properly, MS certifications...otherwise there is no random "tests" as such

[azcodemonkey]

You could do Brainbench, but they typically aren't free tests, yet they are cheaper than MS cert tests. And really, they're pretty meaningless.

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

ok, thanks for the replies :)

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?

[Andre S. Veteran]

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
