Programming the .NET Framework with Java:

J#

LOCATION: Zürich

SPEAKER: Richard Hale Shaw   COMPANY: The Richard Hale Shaw Group

Microsoft's .NET Framework is a comprehensive re-write and discarding of virtual every previous Windows-based development technology (such as COM, ADO, ASP, OLEDB and the Windows API). Instead, .NET provides an elegant, integrated component-based platform that abstracts away most operating system-dependencies to let you create platform-independent components (where .NET is installed) that are binary-compatible across supported programming languages. At the heart of .NET release is Visual Studio.NET, which natively supports C++, VB.NET (a full OO release of Visual Basic), and C# (a Java-C++-Delphi hybrid), but which offers a plug-in framework for new languages from other vendors to be supported in the same environment.

Microsoft itself has taken advantage of this plug-in framework with its Java hybrid for .NET: J#. Designed to provide comprehensive access to the .NET Framework via the Java language (but not for developing applications to be run on a Java VM), J# features a complete Java-language compiler that produces .NET assemblies (containing Intermediate Language code for compilation to processor-specific code by the .NET CLR); a binary converter for transforming JDK 1.1.4 Java-language classes from bytecodes into IL; a set of class libraries to replace the functionality of the JDK 1.1.4 libraries, and much of the functionality found in JDK 1.2 java.util; and finally, updated support for Visual J++ libraries (such as WFC and the com.ms.* packages).

In this session, we'll demonstrate the use of J#, and how you can create a variety of .NET components and applications -- such as Windows Forms, Web Forms, and Web Service applications -- and how to harness the power of your existing JDK 1.1.4 components in the .NET environment.

Richard will be assisted by Christian Gross, a longtime colleague and friend who is has been a consultant, speaker and product manager for a number of firms including Union Bank of Switzerland and Altova, the makers of XML Spy.
