I'm considering learning a new programming language.
The choises are : VB.NET or Visual C++.
At the moment no need for client/server applications.
It seems that more C++ programmers are wanted than VB programmers.
Just wonder if C++ is much faster than VB at execution level.
Hope to get a lot of information here.
Visual C++ isn't a language.
C++ is a language, and it runs faster than vb.net
Sorry, my mistake.
Can i start with c++ immediatly or should i first learn C?
Both have excellent job opportunities. Im a littled biased towards C/C++ though. Learn C++ in borland or any other IDE. Dont learn Visual C++, it would spoil you (As I like to say). Or just make sure you don't buy a book or take a course that teaches you exclusively purely in Visual. If you learn in Visual, you'd be forced to use MFC and other things giving away portability. Learning C/C++ in another environment would allow you to easily pick up Visual C++ or C# at a later time.
