I looked into c# as it has been mentioned a few times... but i have defo decided to try c++ i thinkAs you say c# could be better for ease and knocking up quick things... but id like to have the c++ so i can advance on that, when and if the time comes!
Well either that or .NET... but for some reason, it confuses me. I cant seem to find the same asmounts of info on it as i can for c++ :/
Thanks a lot for all the help so far guys... cant wait to finally give a good wee attempt at learning something
A lot of the syntax is very similar in both languages so transitioning from C# to C++ won't be quite as difficult as you might think. C# is also entirely object-oriented which is a paradigm you should become extremely familiar with; in contrast C++ is both a procedural and OO-capable language.
Think of C# as a family car with all the added features - it has air-con, electric windows, DVD players in the back seats - everything. It gets you from A to B in a smooth, comfortable manner. It's not fast, but it gets there. On the otherhand you have C++ which is like an Alfa Romeo with a nitrous booster on the back. It's going to get you to your destination fast. Very fast. But it's also going to break a lot.
Perhaps not a perfect analogy, but I like it
