I'm a C# ASP.net MVC Developer.
I got a new job and have to move to the java world (which I left few years ago :))
Are there any recommendations for
asp.net mvc equivalent java framework
also,
are there any simmilar technologies like LINQ in java world?
(I've used LINQ with entity framework, I guess I would use Hibernate with it's own query language)
Also, is there a good book / tutorial you know for C# to Java transition?
update: I'm currenly looking at Spring MVC
Check Play framework
Apache Struts is an equivalent to ASP.NET MVC:
http://struts.apache.org/
I used Struts 2 and no problem.
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/index.html
Note: I do NOT recommend Struts 1. They are completely different. Struts 2 is way better.
Disclaimer: I use Ruby on Rails now :)
Edit:
The official docs has plenty of documentation.
http://struts.apache.org/2.2.1.1/docs/home.html
I'd recommend looking at Spring. It's like Enterprise Framework on the .NET side, if I understand the latter correctly.
It's a library of modules built on top of dependency injection and aspect oriented programming.
My experience with JSF 2.0 has been good and i dont feel any need to learn Spring. From books i can recommend "JavaServer faces 2.0: the complete reference" By Ed Burns, Neil Griffin, Chris Schalk
are there any simmilar technologies like LINQ in java world?
Check out Scala language. It's full of functional idioms while cooperates with Java pretty smoothly (actually, it's bytecode is the same as Java's. For example, F# requires it's runtime to execute assembly).
And there is awesome Lift framework supporting MVC pattern among other great features.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on transitioning from PHP to asp.net c#? I've been developing in PHP for 7 years and I'm interested in learning asp.net. However, I've been disappointed with the books that I've read so far. Seems like every asp.net book has so many examples of clicking here and dragging here and right click on this, etc... that I seem to get lost. Learning the C# language isn't bad...I think I'm getting lost in either the IDE or the .NET framework. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I suggest you look at asp.net/mvc, not webforms - it will be a more natural migration.
The good resource is the official site: http://asp.net/mvc - it has tutorials, videos and more.
The .NET base class library (BCL) is very large. It is what you will interact with most of the time (outside of your own code). The only advice I can give - look things up on MSDN. It has very good documentation and it is worth taking your time reading through it.
For Visual Studio - the VS tips and tricks blog is a really good resource to learn about it.
Coming from PHP there's probably less you need to un-learn (I was a classic ASP programmer for a long time and made the jump to .NET about seven years ago).
Microsoft has a bunch of free tutorials, as does the W3Schools site. I found the Macon State tutorials to be extremely helpful when I was starting out:
http://www.maconstateit.net/tutorials/aspnet20/default.htm
The Microsoft exam prep books are pretty straightforward, too, mostly dealing with code instead of drag-and-drop.
I felt the exact same way about the .NET / Visual Studio environment when I first approached it.
If you're not into all the GUI stuff I would recommend George Shepherd's ASP.NET 4 Step by Step from Microsoft Press.
I learned ASP.NET basics on the 3.5 version of this book and I loved it. He really starts with the nuts and bolts stuff (open a telnet window and interact directly with the HTTP server for example) that I think would appeal to most *NIX veterans. His approach gave me a good feel for what all the complicated controls in ASP.NET are really doing under the hood, which was instrumental in growing my understanding of the platform.

We are a group of 2 C# programmers, which have experience in wcf web services, asp.net MVC 3, different architectural patterns, Inversion of control etc.
We have to implement a web site, which will run on Linux with minimum of 10k online users.
The problem is that it will run on Linux, and we don't know what language to choose, which is stable, maintained, free, cross platform, and reusable in business/desktop applications.
We think about Java servlets and Python's Django framework, are there other good frameworks?
Which one to choose, we are confused.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
What about the performance of JSP vs Django vs Asp.net MVC on Mono vs Ruby On Rails?
We are a group of 2 C# programmers, which have experience in (snip) asp.net MVC
You want to write a web-site, and you have asp.net MVC experience... ASP.NET MVC can run on linux / Mono. So my suggestion... do that.
Some links:
Deploy ASP.NET MVC on Linux: Best Practices, Tools & Surprises
Developing ASP.NET MVC Apps Using Mono
Setting up a Ubuntu, Apache, MySQL, Mono, ASP.NET, MVC 2 Development Server
mono FAQ : ASP.NET
If you don't mind moving out of your comfort zone, I would recommend Ruby on Rails (on top of Django and JSP).
I love Python and Django, and even use it in every projects I have at school/uni before.
But it's just me, who have some experience with Python; everything you know have some real-world sample with large scale, so choose the one you like/know best.
You are going to deploy in Linux, so maybe ASP.NET is a acceptable choice, but not the best. I would recommend Django (because I love it); Ruby on Rails is another good choice, but I don't like it because of some bad experience before with its dependencies. Python and Ruby both has its advantages and dis-advantages.
There's another web development framework choice for Python like Pylons (Quora use it), webpy...

I have a C++ background and having to develop a larger application written in C# and using the .NET framework. So far I've been reading a lot of tutorials online but looking for books preferably unless there are some really good longer tutorials out there. The project I am working on involves threading, sockets, and GUI design. What are the best books these days? I'm using .NET 3.5 for my application.
As already mentioned, Jon's book is very good. Also very good is Mark's book "Essential C# 4.0".
I was the technical editor of both books.
The books are well named. If what you are looking for is an in-depth guide to the C# language, Jon's book is marginally better. If what you are looking for is thorough coverage of the essential features of the language and frameworks, Mark's book has the edge. But I would recommend either unreservedly.

I'm sure you'll get many responses for useful books and tutorials and such, but for me, one of the biggest helps was installing and using JetBrains ReSharper. I was already familiar with a lot of development methodologies used by the team I joined. ReSharper was a great way to be constantly oriented to C# and .NET-specific standards and potential usages.

Head First C# is pretty good. All the Head First! books are pretty good).
Another good book is C# In A Nutshell, from O'Reilly.
It's old, but still one of the the best in-depth books about .Net framework/CLR fundamentals, is Don Box's Essential .Net
For indepth learning - CLR via C# 3rd Edition
visual c# step by step does a great job of not only familiarizing you with the language and .net, it also does a good job of teaching you to get around in visual studio. It starts out very basic, but by the time you reach the end of the book it has touched on event handling, database access, xml, and even asp.net giving you a solid enough foundation to be able to decide what you want to learn next. Most students in my class had little trouble learning the concepts here. If you already know c++ you might find this a bit basic, but the starter sections could be used to familiarize yourself with the visual studio environment if you aren't already, so they wouldn't be just an extended rehash of things you already know.

I am starting my first software engineering job in a week and wanted to sharpen my skills up. I'm looking for someone to suggest a good week long, web application project that can help me sharpen up my C#, Javascipt, and JQuery.
Thanks!

Edit: As noted below this is a pretty broad question. Let me give a little more background. I am a strong programmer, but an entry level one. My experience as an intern for a year gave me glimpses into a number of the .Net and C# technologies, but what I have never done was put them all together into an inclusive project. I'm looking for a project idea that will have me setting up both client and server side code (purely for practice) that will provide me better insight into how each piece of the puzzle fits together.
write a blog engine. its useful, easy, and has bounded, easily understood requirements.
You could start with one of the ASP.NET Starter Kits and build upon it.
Being that you have C# experience, I highly recommend trying Asp.Net MVC as I feel it is the future of MS Web programming (I am not alone in this opinion... though it is just an opinion).
If nothing else, the MVC (model-view-controller) organization is a well established and useful method of coding that is used accross all sorts of platforms like php, ruby on rails, etc. - not as much of an 'island' like Asp.Net WebForms (Asp.Net WebForms are still great).
There are all sorts of great tutorials, the most famous being Nerd Dinner
You might also want to check out the materials available under the jquery tag on Channel9. There is a great video from PDC2008 that talks about ASP.NET and jQuery and another jQuery for the ASP.NET Developer presentation from DevDays 2010.

What are some good resources for learning ASP.NET MVC 2.0 (if I don't already know ASP.NET MVC 1.0)?
Tekpub (Steven Sanderson and Rob Conery) is doing a video series on MVC 2: http://tekpub.com/preview/aspmvc
Obviously the first resource I'd point you to is the official ASP MVC website here.
Perhaps the biggest and most key aspect you need to understand about ASP.NET MVC is that MVC isn't explicitly specialised for ASP.NET - it's a very wide design pattern - MVC stands for Model-View-Controller, you should really read up on MVC and gain a general understanding before you dive straight into the ASP.NET implementation.
You may want to look into buying a book that can nicely ease you into ASP.NET MVC. The reviews on amazon are something you want to take into account, as they're usually very accurate.
You can find results of a ASP.NET MVC search here.
As far as your concerns around version 1 to version 2 of ASP.NET MVC go, you shouldn't automatically dismiss any ASP.NET MVC v1 resources you come across - the chances are it's still relevant. You may wish to check out the changelist between v1 and v2 to see if anything you learn is now redundant, updated or changed in any way.
There is going to be a lot of help around for MVC 1. If you're looking to learn .NET MVC then most of .NET MVC 1 is relevant. Phil Haack is one of many who has blogged about the blogged about the release of .NET MVC 2. Importantly, he gives a link to the release notes.
Not a great deal has actually changed. Mainly to do with validation in fact. You can use the release notes as a guide. Whenever you're doing something that is 'flagged' in the release notes, then make sure you look for .NET MVC2 help specifically.
Brad Wilson has some nice posts about templates.
