C++ or C#?

I'm going to learn one of the C languages

and idk what one to learn C++ or C#?

will somone plz help me?

which one is better?

JAVA :D

I'd say C++, only because I prefer it haha

lol ok my uncle knows both and he says that c# is way better and saves alot of headaches :o

Sorry for "spamming", but I have to agree with Hack4u, JAVA

(it will eventually be faster than C++, we need Computer Engineers to not slack off, and work on better memory modules to compensate for Processor speed, which C++ highly relies on!)

C/C++ are the same basically… so not great differences exist between the two, really.

The big difference between these two is that in c# you can incorporate java,so if you want to be a programmer i'd say go with c# if you want to be a hacker go with c++. just my oppinion, maybe pm some high rankers and ask.B)

What about plain C, does it have any advantages over C++ or C# ? Ive been told C is more poweful than C#, but im not sure about it…

I HAVE to learn one of the 3 over the summer holidays !! And PHP…

C++ (>.> Java must die!) (ASM ;))

lol well i just want to learn prog languages first b4 i even try to become hacker. my uncle is a really good programmer and says that c# is the way to go… he said its much more powerful and faster

I code in c#.. so I'd suggest that. Plus since you have help from your uncle than… just do it. Don't wait on him.. I use Visual Studio 2005 professional but you can download visual studio 2005 express for free!

ok thnx man, can i have ur msn or aim or gmail? incase i ahve questions?

u should create a visual c# tutorial that could help beggining c# programmers :D

Yeah, I'd like to see one of those too ! Im pretty sure im gonna learn C# now, but im gonna learn PHP first :)

lol yea i started to learn php and i've decided to learn c# instead then move to php then sql :D

why… PHP is clearly the easier of the two…

True pengo, though that isn't necessarilly a good reason to learn it first.

In my opinion, f you learn C or one of its variants first, you'll get a brilliant grasp of a lot of programming concepts. This makes it much easier to learn another language at a later date than if you'd started with something such as PHP or Perl,

hm.. good point.. so if i had to choose between C# and C++ I'd say C++

Java is useless. Go for strait c before anything then probably c++ or perl.

easy! C++ ffs :D

If you want to find a job and you want to work on Micro$oft products.. then I suggest C#.

See Sharp ;) is newer than C++ and has a few enhancements…. its more close yo Java (automatic memory allocation - which is a pain of the ass in C++ sometimes).

BUT… by C++ you can work in every environment (DOS, WIN32, Linux…)

The main question is what you 'd like to do first.

1. Just Programming? => C++
2. Internet Programming? => C#
3. Get a Job? => C#
4. Get a real Job? => C++ B) B)
5. Hacking? => C++ or plain vanilla C
6. A base to l=easy learn more langauages? => C++

C++ is what I started with, then after a while understood C better. As far as internet and networking, I don't have experience in those things(with C languages) but there are plenty of resources out there for them.

I would do C# its easier, and thats what im learning right now. Ive researched both and everywhere i read says that C# is easier and better on average. But if you want to learn someone that you will be able to get a real persons help than learn C++ but if your good at learninng things alone and using web tools learn C#

Acid, why not learn C. Its a great language, easy to learn and effective.

Keep in mind that C# is only good for Windows apps (as of now)… it's not as portable as C++, and C++ can pretty much do anything C# can do – if you learn it thoroughly there won't be a need for C#.

…or the learning curbe of C# would be higly minimized.

With the Mono project you can use C# on every platform ;)

If want to be sure that your apps work on every platform, learn C. if you want an easy to learn language which is highly promoted by MS and is very popular in companies, learn C#.

id say c# or just plain c. i know plain old c, and its pretty lame, but it can be useful. do whatever u think will be most useful for what you need it for.

C++; C# is simply a Microsoft implementation of C++, with .NET.

In other words, don't do it. It may be easier, it may have less lines of code than C++, but in the long run, and if you really DO want to be a hacker, C/C++ is the way to go. It teaches valuable concepts such as Pointers, OOP-ness, and the like.

That, and C# is only compatible on Microsoft Platforms, with .NET Framework installed.

I refer yet again to the Mono project which brings .NET to Linux, Mac, etc.

yea ik tahts gay, i decided to learn C# first then C++
