Hi,

I'm an experienced Java developer, mainly working on GUI front ends.
I've decided its time to try and pick up C# and .NET and add another
string to my bow. Any tips on what tools I should be using, what sites
to visit, what books to take a look at.

Any info gratefully appreciated.

history on com components or any other things like that in the
microsoft world !

You could start with the Express Version of Visual Studio:

MSDN also has a section on C# for Java developers:

..NET SDK (free)
Visual Studio Express (free) or SharpDevelop (free)
a good book (like "Professional C#" from Wrox)
assuming you mean GUI in desktop apps then start with "win forms" /
"windows forms"

hear :)
