How to learn C# (or maybe VB.NET) and Java and not dying in the attempt.

I found some material:

C#
==

Kevin McNeish Book.
http://foxcentral.net/microsoft/netforvfpdevelopers.htm
It is free.

Also and article at
http://www.mug.org.ar/FoxProGufa/ArticFox/537.aspx
Where is compare some commands of C# and VFP.

Another very good videos and tutorials (Spanish)
http://www.desarrollaconmsdn.com/msdn/Cursos/Curso_Introduccion_a_.NET_con_CSharp/index.html

The C# Programming Videos located at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/programming/videos/

Les Pinter Visual FoxPro to Visual Basic .NET book (www.pinter.com)
you can download the draft book from there...or buy it

The "problem" with VB.NET is that we avoid all about Visual Basic an all seemed to it, but it is a very good option...we have to be open mind.

JAVA
====

Java main web page
http://java.sun.com/

Tutorials
http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/

The most famous and used Java IDE's (also JBuilder but it is not free)

A very good free IDE
http://www.netbeans.org/

And another IDE sponsored by IBM also free
http://www.eclipse.org/

But,
I cannot find nothing on how to do with java what we usually do in VFP
for example:

The equivalent of:
- All the methods and properties of a VFP Form
- How to link a textbox with a table field, where is the ControlSource ?

I propose to create a public web page or a blog page to accomplish that kind of things maybe not only .NET and Java also others lenguajes would be welcome.

Subjects like:

The equivalent of...
Skip, go top, locate etc, all VFP commands !
The controlsource property in Java is...
The codeX to simulate the VFP Keyboard command
How to implement a Grid in C#, Java, LenguageX...
The validate, when, tabstop, etc, etc, properties...
Load, init, keypress etc.
How to migrate to...

It is WANTED VFP programmers with experience with those languages...
