  <p>I am reading <a href="http://ssw.jku.at/Teaching/Lectures/CSharp/Tutorial/Part1.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this C# tutorial</a> and it says "similar to Java (75%) C++(10%)". is that true? I thought C# and C++ were the same language except for few handy abstractions which visual studio provides.</p>
