The model of using streams for I/O is well understood, and the .NET implementation doesn’t differ much from the Java approach. Although the C# examples may look different, the underlying mechanisms are the same, and the Java programmer has little to adjust to. In other areas, the differences are more apparent, and this is especially clear with object serialization. The deep integration of attributes in .NET is evident and is far removed from the Java approach of interface implementation. Overall, the Java programmer should adapt to the .NET I/O classes quickly and find the majority of functionality available, albeit in a slightly different manner.
