Traditional and More 'Exotic' .NET Languages: VB .NET, J#, C# and SML .NET

摘要

We study the .NET platform, various .NET languages and their interoperability (with an emphasis on C# and SML .NET), compare C# and Java 1.5, and develop related educational material to be used in a Programming Paradigms course. Introducing .NET - one platform supporting different paradigms -in such a course seems to be a unique experience in Computer Science Education. It may be a motivating factor for students to learn new programming languages.
