Suggest a C# book/tutorial for newbie JAVA programmers which is short enough

Question

I know some university students studying JAVA as OOP according to the syllabus. Previously they learned C and C++ as well. I want to show them the path of C# as it is not in their syllabus. But if I suggest a 500-paged book, very few are going to read it. And if I go with some JAVA-C# comparison, may be they will not get many of the points as they are not experienced JAVA programmers. So, I think I need a short C# intro book(preferably free) or tutorial contrasting JAVA and C# suitable for newbies.

What do you suggest?

Answer 1

I found these tutorials when looking for the exact same thing.

Answer 2

While it's a little dated now this article goes into a very detailed comparison of the two languages and most of it still applies.

Answer 3

If you want you can show them code snippets in c# and java and compare the code. Try

www.java2s.com

and

www.snippetbank.net

Answer 4

Microsoft have some info on exactly that, and there is a good book too:

Very easy to read, assumes knowledge of Java so cuts out the basics and gets straight to the good stuff.
