C#?

[hell_of_doom227]

I like VB more then C#.

Here in NE ohio, almost all job openings are .net, VB, asp, MSSQL, etc.

same here is aus.

alot of .net jobs around. still a fair amount of java/c/c++ but not as much as vb/c#

I never really paid attention until now but WOW, C# jobs pay REALLY well in this area and tehre seem to be just a ton of them... too bad I'm not taking that class until fall :(

teachin myself C# atm. goin pretty well. OOP makes sense which is good cause ive never done anything with it. only have experience with C and non-OOP PHP.

how exactly? i am just reading a book after basic HTML (in highschool) and it seems very very "heavy".
I have visual studio installed....But without my dad's help, its very very hard to get anywhee.

do you have any experience with other programming languages?

you should start with a command line based programming in C (buy a book in the store or something, i like the SAM's series of books, they are very easy to follow). then start learning about the basics of object oriented programming, then migrate into visual studio and learn how to work with classes and objects.

What benefits do I get after learning C#? What kinds of software that get developed on C#? Finally, what other languages do you recommend?

Thanks.
You can develop GUI tools and web programs with C#. It is a very similar language to Java. Much less complicated than C++.NET. However, I recommend learning the fundamentals of OOP before getting involved too heavily with one specific programming project. I learned a fair number of concepts to use in C++ and Java from a course I took during my 3rd year at school, and these OOP concepts and fundamentals have helped me in being able to use Visual Studio. My main job doesn't involve programming, but I do a bit of programming as side projects, and I was able to use C# without too much trouble (and a bit of help from the people here) to create my own GUI application.

The biggest thing I can say when programming anything with Visual Studio, if you're not sure about stuff, put breakpoints and examine contents of the arrays and variables you're using (or objects, whatever kind of abstract objects you may be using).
