Learn c# or C++?

learn c#. programmer time is much more expensive than CPU time, and you'll be a lot more productive with c#. I have several years experience with c++, and am only learning c#, but already feel I'm more productive with c#. if you need something to run fast, you can always optimise a component later in c++ (there are good options for interoperability between the two languages). usually it's only a very small part of the code that you have to really optimise.

Wise words :)
 
I had this piece of coursework that I did at uni (Yes, it was set by Rob Miles :D ) which taught me what OOP is really about. Once I'd realised how awesome it is, I don't want to go back again. Being taught C# as part of my course helps :)

Spent today learning the basics (basic LOL) of C# and i'm liking it. OOP is a bit confusing but i'llfigure it out 1 day:)

OOP can be a bit tricky to properly understand; it's very very easy to misunderstand it and use it in completely the wrong way.

If you're serious about learning C#, I'd recommend getting a book on it, as it'll be a vast help in learning both the language and the principles of OOP :)

For what it's worth, I'd recommend Programming C# by Jesse Liberty.
