Transitioning to C# from another programming language is often smoother than many developers expect. If you’re coming from Java, JavaScript or C++ you’ll find many familiar concepts. To make a successful transition: focus on understanding the .NET ecosystem and framework specifics, build practical projects using ASP.NET Core for web development, learn Entity Framework for database interactions, and get familiar with LINQ for data manipulation. At Source Group International we help developers make this transition by identifying “bridge roles” that value your existing language skills while giving you opportunities to grow your C# skills. Our recruiters can create a personalised transition plan and connect you with employers who are open to developers making this switch.
