TheKahvi · Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2008 6:28 am Post subject: Which language to choose?

I want to learn programming but I don't know which one to choose.

I know some basic things about C so I decided to choose that.
But then I noticed that there are C#, C++, Visual C++ and maybe more. >_>

Which should I choose to be able to make useful programs like calculator or calendar and so on
AND
I want to be able to make cheats/hacks/bots for games too.
(I like how Dark_Walk, nForce, symbol, kiki and some other people are kinda respected/famous =D)

QUICK EDIT:
Please, don't come here saying that my hopes are too high to create a succesful bot or something... =S
I know it WILL take time to get that good.

In programming, when you're talking about a language, you're probably referring to it's syntax. Some compilers may add their features to make your life easier (and of course people usually try to reach a standard), but all in all, remember you're talking about binary - the closer you get to it, the more control you'll have over your application. If you like having an easy life, select C#, if you want to actually work, go with C\C++ (C++ is an extention to C).

What in C# makes my life that much easier?

I'm currently looking towards C++.

You have that WZ viewer link in your sig so you might know how can I get off sets for Europe Maplestory?

As you can see, I've been a member of this forum for about 2 years now, and I too have finally taken the initiative to learn a coding language. Sorry for bringing this out of the dump, but what exactly was meant by C# is the easiest? With next to no experience, which language would be in my best interest to pursue and start off with?

Eh, I would say java... but seems like you already learning C++

im not sure about being easier, but C# is the only C that is .net capable, i spose that could be why its easier

So, you would recommend C# then?

AndrewMan · Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2008 10:55 am Post subject:

C# is based on the .Net framework.

All of these languages depends on what you want to do & the time you want to do it in.

If you're going to learn C++, its going to take maybe a month or two to get a Bot working/trainer.

I am currently learning C++, and it is SO MUCH HARDER THAN ANYTHING I'VE SEEN on the .Net framework. I know VB.Net, and i've made many trainers, bots, programs, etc, just using VB.Net.

So if you want to make something quick and not spend months learning, I would go with C#/VB.Net

If you want to spend time learning a language that will help you in the future create programs that are outstanding, go with C++

Well..to start with, I want to make little self programs to make general computing easier. Then eventually I'd like to make a bot for MS. I think im going to start with VB.NET. I'm sure I'll see you around, Thanks.

Are you saying that dephi is easier? Orr...why should i use delphi over VB.NET because andrewman seems to think that thats the way to go.

Do not start with a .net language.

Start with C/C++.

gmusaka · Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:43 pm Post subject:

C# is easier to use in my opinion.
But you need to choose for yourself, not someone to recommend you one and you go straight there.

I recommend C# its a nice language just ask samurai Smile

Learning VB first doesn't help out a whole lot when learning a language like delphi/C. You may know what a while loop, etc is, but you come into the language with a lot of unhelpful notions. Delphi/C may take a while longer to learn than VB, but I think it would take less time to go from C>VB than VB>C as you'd pretty much have to learn C from scratch even if you already knew VB.
