Yes it is, you didn;t say what you were familiar with, but come from a very strong VB background, switching to VB.net was very easy because I while the prior VB never forced you to be Object oriented I always programed it that way, once you get the justs of OO well it just makes to much sense to do it any other way.
Anyway i am switching myself to C# because from what I have done with it so far has been impressive and I fell like I have a lot more control and options than i did in VB, plus the language is pretty strict which is also a good thing you produce better code because your forced to. I can still sit down and make something 3 times as fast in VB but I still force myself to do it in C#, I know the only reason i can do it faster is because i know the syntax and commands of VB very well. I will get faster in C#
You're quite bound to get a positive answer here, don't you think so?
C# is a great language to learn, especially if you choose it over VB. It will make C++ easier to learn later on.
But if you have slow computer, SharpDevelop runs like an arse :(!
That applies for the whole VS.NET. Don't use it unless you have at the absolute minimum 256MB RAM.
Yeah, VS.NET is very heavy.
No. C# is a bad idea to learn.
No. ;)Quote:

Not if people like you and me come around.
But what if we didn't?
Then people would waste X years of their life learning C#, then discover how much it sux, and finally, spend (note the use of "spend" as opposed to "waste") some time learning C++.
Solve for X. :)
The only ray of light is that X(C#) is rather small.
Not necessarily. It's still a waste either way though. Don't learn C#.
Yep. Learn C++. If you REALLY want to (or if you, like me, just have too much time on your hands) learn C# it's a hop of 20 minutes.
Or if you, like me, can forsee the future destruction and mayhem caused by .NET, avoid C#. (I'm proud to say I don't know it.)

Did Microsoft turn you down on a job opening or something??
Or if you, like me, can forsee the future increase in yearly household income caused by .NET, embrace C#. (I'm proud to say I know it.)
;)
I dont think C# offers much that VB.NET doesnt have (yet). After All, they both come from the framework. C Style Syntax syntax r0x0rz though!Quote:

No, I doubt Microsoft would hire me anyway (due to my age.)Quote:

I don't know, I can foresee* an extreme future decrease. But I'm the only one who thinks so. :(Quote:

Yonatan, if you think it's too hard to learn, there's no shame in saying so! :D :D
LOL :)
I reckon in about a year we will find out what .NET is really for and where it is going to be used. Right now, I think it is replacing VB6. :D
.NET will probably kill off Java because of better perfomance. Yet, Java is still a great language. :(
