    I was wondering if I started to learn C# is it easy enough to change to C++?
    Are the languages similar in ways?


    Also anyone able to link to any tutorials for C# or C++ that are from the basics upwards? Good content filled websites related just to coding would be awesome..

    Thanks,
    Ash

    I'd recommend starting with C++. It's a more complicated, powerful language.

    C sharp is like a mixture of Visual Basic syntax and C++, it's as powerful as C++ in my opinion.

    Theres no easy way to learn a language, however what you learned from C++ such as execution control, loops, functions, classes, methods, all of it exists in C#, you just have to learn the syntax of usage for things like structs.

    It shouldn't be a difficult task to learn C# even if you have no knowledge of programming at all, so learning with knowledge of C++ will definitely benefit you.

    Even I would recommend you to start with C++ first.

    Yeah I recommend you start with C++ (learn it in .NET) if you plan to use it there,
    its a bit different structure than normal C++ code but I must say, its a hole lot nicer to program in C#

    Start with C++ and then move to C#. It's easy to learn other languages once you know basic C++.
    Yes! to some extent. You'll gain the undestanding of concepts from C++ and then you need to learn the syntax and other C# specific things.

    Learn C#. Its managed code, and will get you paid more than C++ IMO.

    C++ guys get paid a bunch only after they have like 5-6-7 years exp, from what I have seen.

    I have learned C# first, so then C++. But I think its beter to learn C++ first.
    Btw .NET Framework is a software component that is a part of several Microsoft Windows operating systems.

    Go with C++. Its have vast inbuilt library. Containing good amount of useful inbuilt functions. These functions can help you in easy understanding of the code. In some of the other languages where we have to make these functions which is a tiring job and to find the shortest algorithm C++ has the shortest algorithm to those functions..
