C/C++ syntax is easy to understand
the concepts that are the foundations of C/C++ are a little harder though...

C/C++ is a very powerful language, as a result, using it may be challenging...

anyways, if you are an amateur programmer, then it is a good language to learn
if you plan to program for a living, it is a language you HAVE to know

C++ and Java are good for different things, they're more of a complement to each other than a replacement.


C++ can be a difficult language to learn, and there's plenty that differs from plain C. But C++ can also do a lot of things that it's just... awkward to do in C.
My recommendation would be to learn C++, and also to learn when using it is a good idea (it's not the best language for every situation -- there is no "perfect" programming language for every task).

How would you recommend I start learning, because personally I hate tutorials. I'd rather have a live 'teacher' over IRC or something. I don't know, I just find tutorials.... annoying.

If you're going through programming in Computer Science...around here...I guarantee you will be put through one or more C/C++/C# courses before you get out of college...so yea...it's definitely something you want to brush up in.

Basically, if you're new to they game (personally, I still really am) you can only get better by praticing...tutorials help...but try applying them to odd little games and whatnot...more you practice on it...the easier it becomes learning it.

Yeah. It's not the learning I mind. It's the linearity and boredom of tutorials, ie there's certain bits I already know and don't want to cover, but then I have to to get onto the next bit cause there's something I've missed etc.

Im learning c\c++ too... Id say programming things is the easiest, and really the only, way to drill it into your head. Id also reccomend starting with c, because C++ is basically a modified (and upgraded) version of C... Your C++ program probably supports c, I havent seen one yet that doesnt. C#... hmmm... I must find out more about c#... Ive seen it around, but have jno idea what it is (other than a programming language, I know that part) well, anyway, start off at the bottom and climb up, not in the middle or top, you'll just fall off the ladder (lol) if you get a tutorial/book/teacher, they tell you to learn C first anyway... as for something to teach you, I like the dummies books. however, they dont teach you much just by reading, you have to try doing things they dont tell you how to to learn from them (i.e. try to combine things you learn) the language itself isnt hard. no programming language is "hard", not even ASM or binary code, you just need the patience and consistant pursuit of knowledge for that language to learn it. I reccomend that you not just stop with C after your done learning it (well, most of it) Im not stopping 'til I learn ASM for a few platforms... good luck and happy learning!
