OK, so most companies don't seem to be interested in Java any more. Most 
of them are asking for something.net, and the most popular one is C#, 
unsurprisingly. So I'm sitting hear reading some C# books.

Like anything else, there are some good things, and not so good things. 
The one that really tickles me is the author insisting that because 
assemblies are loaded dynamically, and because CIL takes up less space 
than machine code and is JIT-compiled, you can "drastically reduce the 
working set of your application".

Uhuh. Erm... you realise this thing uses a GC for memory management, 
right? ;-)

I also love the way it raves about why "metadata" is so great, without 
actually explaining precisely what it solves.

But anyway, early days...
