Is C easy to learn

[kinjalgp]

From many days I was thinking to start learning C rather than Vb because C programs are much faster and smaller than VB.
I am unable to decide which language should I learn

Can anyone tell me which one is better VB or C?

I don't think it's a matter of which is 'better' or not.
They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

From my personal experience, I learnt Visual Basic COMPLETELY from the Help Files and my background knowledge
of Qbasic (which doesn't help much). I learnt C++ by reading
2 different books and lots of practice everyday.

with C++ you can build faster, smaller and more powerful programs than with VB.

So I think I should start C++ right from today. Which C books do you have? Can you give me the names of the author?

Damn, I went out and bought Beginning Visual C++ 6 yesterday and you publish that lits 20 minutes after I set off.

I have not read Beginning Visual C++ 6 yet. I'm sure
it will be a great book for beginners, since the title has "beginning" in it.

If you not, you can always return it

Yeah Beginning Visual C++ by Ivor Horton is a really good book if you want to learn the C++ lunguage. You should also
learn numbering systems like Hex and decimal.

If someone needs to learn the decimal numbering system, they're in a lot more trouble than they know . The "Beginning" books by Wrox press seem pretty good. I read the VB 4 book and the VC5 book.

Maybe some people don't know the decimal system. Maybe 2 nerdy people raised their kids to count in Hex
