We are a Windows/Linux shop, a...

Ok, I have this prototype that was written by someone else in C# and I'm trying to put it into Objective-C. Now, I haven't had any formal experience with C# yet, so I don't know everything about it yet.

So, I'll be soon working on porting two APIs (C++ and C++/CLI) to use the VS2010 compiler. I think it'd be a good idea to have a head start on this. Any tips? ...
Currently I'm building my Java Web Application on Google AppEngine (GAE), but due to a lot of limitations they have I'm afraid that I'm going to have to switch from GAE to my own server which is running Glassfish (or I can setup any other server if needed).
