I'm looking forward to getting some experience using it in web development soon, but to this point I've only built console applications, the latest of which was a text editor! To this point I've enjoyed the similarities between Java and C#, but as we progress it looks like I'll have my work cut out for me. I'll keep you posted on how this goes.

Java does a good job with abstract classes and inheritance in general, and so far I've found it to be more straight forward than C#, and I'm glad to be rid of code like:

myLabel.Text = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Some global var"]

Although PHP has Globals, I suppose.

Initially I was a bit worried as I had heard a number of complaints that it caused Blue Screen of Death errors during install, however nothing of the sort seems to have occured in my case.

I haven't yet had a chance to extensively test any improvements made, but so far all is going well.
