Microsoft on Tuesday released the first test version of a tool for converting Java language code to C#, the company's Java-like programming language for building Web services. The Java language conversion tool, available for download from Microsoft's Web site, is part of the Java User Migration Path to Microsoft .Net (JUMP to .Net) initiative unveiled about a year ago.

JUMP in part allows programmers accustomed to working with Java to create applications that later can be converted to support Microsoft's .Net software-as-a-service strategy. Last month, Microsoft released to some developers Visual Studio.Net, its revamped software development toolkit supporting .Net. The company officially launches the product next week.

The fact is: Software developers today are really designers and not coders. The reason that business anlaysts exist today to model solutions is because they understand the value of designing software before writing it. All too often developers create code that has little value because they do not understand that business classes interact with other classes within the confines of a working model or pattern.
