I'm trying to get started on something productive besides just screwing around with what I can find. I have already gone in about 30 pages in the online c++ guide Microsoft gives you on the start page of VC++2008, which
is not much at all (last thing was converting int to double, I think).

I'm looking through guides to see what is more to me, but I prefer more opinions. I don't wanna know ___ is a bad language for doing ___ when I'm already deep in.

Although I've heard C# is more simple and can do things C++ can't.

Help?

Edit: What about the .NETs?

C++ can do everything C# can and more.

C# is .NET

C++ is not cross-platform (not properly anyway) ? If you intend to just program on Windows systems, I advise C++.

If you should deside to study c#, then 'head first C#' is really awesome!

i find c# incredibly easy and i will always use it when i need a quick app done. so I recommend c# to start learning on. but now im going more into c++ and my c# background is a great help. i'm moving into c++ simply because it can do more and most projects are coded with it.

i still like to do c# for gui and then use c++ & introp to do stuff i can't usually do with c#.

I recommend C++. I have never personally tried much with C# but I know it is good to learn both, because there are pros and cons to both. If you would like to make trainers and stuff then I suggest using like C++ for a dll and if u want a GUI use C# for the GUI is what ElJeffro said to do.

Noob question.....

(I'm gonna feel SO retarded.)

I got VC++08 a while ago, and started to do some stuff with it.
Thing is, I can't see the hello world thing, or anything else. (I've just been going along as compiling whats I do to see if I got it right, by now.)
Every time I debug the program, I see the window but can't read it. I know it pops up, but I can't read it. I got to a thing where you use the 'cin' and that shows up, but the result doesn't, it disappears too fast to see it.

Is it just like that, or what?
