Answer 16

Another good language that is very similar to Java is C#. It works with the .NET framework and is basically like Microsofts version of Java. I believe Microsoft has a bare bones Visual Studio package you can download that has the C# complier in it. My workplace is cutting edge with their web design and things and they use C# because of the .NET framework.

I am going to a University for a bachelors in computer science and most of the language I use is Java. If you know one, learning the other is easy ;-)
