Whether it's better or not is subjective, but I think you misread PeTe's message.
He simply meant he understands C# more than he does C++, which sounds reasonable.
To OP: VS 2008 is an IDE and compiler suite, but it doesn't offer true C++ (as the ISO standard). You have the choice of using C++ for native compilation, which is what you would use, but note that it does stray from the C++ standard and, if you aren't aware, you'll produce unportable code.
The other option is to use C++/CLI, to build .Net assemblies with Microsofts extensions, and the .Net libraries. It generally isn't a goof choice of language, because it still carries the "bad" parts of C++, which C# aims to better. You should really only use C++/CLI if it's required to interface a .Net assembly to some other native code, hardware drivers and stuff that C# can't do, otherwise, just use C#.
As for where to learn: Get a book. C++ is complicated, and if you don't properly understand what you're learning it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot. I've yet to see a 'tutorial website' that is descriptive enough to learn from, although ebooks are fine.
C# is easier, C++ is verry hard, i have German ebooks, but not english.
C++ is better than C#.
Visual Basic is very easy. For C++ you can search Ebooks google :P

question for anyone who can answer this
how can i populate a list box with ini files from a folder
like its " + name + " . ini
i already made it so it can make a person name there and save as ini file and all that, but i dont know howto retrieve it so i can have all of them in like a list
After I had truly "learned" C#, C++ was really easy.
I had to ask a few questions around, but after that it wasn't hard at all.
They have a lot of the same things in common, but in C++ you have to do a little more work. (Instead of a function returning a string, you have to preallocate a buffer to be copied to, etc)
I'm not talking big commercial adobe **** or anything, but grasping the basics wasn't that complex. The two languages are similar in syntax is what I'm trying to get across.
There is differences, but syntax is similar, and once you get the differences down between the languages, it's not as hard as jumping straight into C++.
I'm not saying if you can write a hello world in C#, you can go pro in C++, I'm just saying that it's easier to transfer between languages than to learn one.
Learning how to code? 12/04/2009 - Mabinogi - 6 Replies Well there's no sticky for some guidance, yet people always seem to push other people to code it themselves.
Is it really easy? How much time would it take me to learn it from scratch to do something as "simple" as metallurgy? And like what methods would be best for today?
Or is this something that just happens to be a neat byproduct ability after taking a class in advanced computer programming or something?
