Facebook Sets July, 1, 2011 Deadline to Make Credits Sole Canvas Game Payment Option Starting at its developer conference last April, Facebook has been saying publicly for the past year that Credits would eventually be the only payment option in social games on the site (although it started saying so to developers months before). It had originally slated all developers to have completely made the switch by the end of 2010. While that has mostly happened, there are still many games not using Credits. So the company is announcing today that all developers who have games on canvas pages will need to move to only use Credits by July 1st of this year. New games will be required to use Credits as the virtual currency when they first set up their canvas pages; older games will also be required to switch to exclusively use Credits, too. For users, that means no more paying for currencies directly with credit cards or other methods that don’t somehow use Credits. For developers, it means more costs and benefits to plan for.

Comparison of C Sharp and Java Summarized differences[edit] Data types[edit] Unified type system[edit] In Java, compound types are synonymous with reference types; methods cannot be defined for a type unless it is also a class reference type. Both languages support a number of built-in types that are copied and passed by value rather than by reference. The C# primitive/simple types implement a number of interfaces and consequently offer a number of methods directly on instances of the types - even on the literals. Java does not offer methods directly on the primitive types. Signed integers[edit] Both Java and C# support signed integers with bit widths of 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits. Unsigned integers[edit] C# supports unsigned in addition to the signed integer types. Java does not feature unsigned integer types. Unsigned integers were deliberately left out of Java because James Gosling believed that programmers would not understand how unsigned arithmetic works.[14][9] Characters[edit] High-precision decimal numbers[edit]

Java for C# developers Mike, There is IMO no trivial winner. It's false economics to think that something is better/cheaper because it's open source or free. Looking at the Java market alone, there are open source or free tools (Eclipse, Netbeans, VisualVM/NetBeans based performance profiling). Yet there is also a market for premium options for Java, such as IntelliJ, JProbe, etc. If open source / free was trivially the answer, then there would be no market for these tools. Another argument is cross-platform support. More valid arguments for choosing one language over another are: 1) Applicability of a language for an application. 2) Library support for language for an application. 3) In-house knowledge of language for application. 4) Ability to hire people with knowledge of language. 5) In-house tool investments. For example, a company may have made an initial investment in using Perl on Linux. Each scenario is different, individual and equally valid.
