• Visual J# J# Books & Questions

  I'm a new developer and am planning to write an application for church office administration.  It would keep track of facility usage, payroll, members, attendees, donations and general accounting.  I've looked into a couple different languages and have narrowed it down to J# or Omnis Studio (Omnis.net), which appears to be underdeveloped. However, I'm having trouble finding resources (in print or electronic form) for J# and learning it looks fairly tough.  Should I buy a book on Java to learn J#   Can I build the type of software that I'm trying to in VJ# 2005 Express B2   Thanks in advance for the timely responses. ...Show All
