    Making the switch...

    Ok... Something tells me that starting out learning how to program by using VB is not the wisest of choices... SO I have decided to dig in and make the switch to C#.... Besides people seem to look at you funny when you tell them "I am a VB progammer".... So here is where I need you help...

    Please post some links for any online tutorials that you may be aware of that can get me started learning C#...

    Anyone that has a tutorial or manual saved to file that is kind enough to email me can PLEASE do so at: [email protected]...

    any help or direction you provide is greatly appreciated... Please keep in mind I am on a VERY tight budget... So I can't buy any books.... (Trust me $80.00 makes a big difference when you have been laid off...)

    Thanks in advance,

    Anjari

    You will find Vb to C++ really tricky, C# is a very nice compromise, it takes all the bull**** out of C++ and makes it easier to use. C# is the way forwards.

    Anyways I spent ages looking and there aren't any good tutorials on the net, you'll have to figure it out.

    I am glad people treat C++ as a "step above and beyond" C#.
    My answer is YES.

    I would say learn C++ if you want to develop mainl commercial apps, but if you are working in a business environment, you should go with C# or VB.NET. There is a reason why VB is the most popular language i the world. I see C# edging out VB.NET for business RAD projects. If you are dedicated go ahead and learn C++, however C++ is very hard to master. Right now my main focus is C# and .NET, but I still study C++ when I have the time.

    C++ is arcane. In the future, only a small percentage of code will be written in C++, namely programs which require max performance like compilers and multimedia intensive apps.

    Java and .NET will fight for the rest of the market.

    I Image Adobe Photoshop in Java lol . C++ will be around for a long time, I am sure.

    .NET and Java have a lot of catching up in speed. I guess it is just a rule: you pay for simplicity / inbuilt features of a programming language with a price of speed.

    I paid the 15 dollars, and I believe it to be well worth the money.
