I need advice: Are you guys trying to learn and develop using this new .NET and C# stuff?
Im so used to C and the API, I know nothing about MFC and i was not willing to learn it, i thought C+API would be enough for developing small apps and shareware for a looong time...
I was considering learning C++ but now, everybody is talking about this new things, i dont know what to do.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Well, after all C# is in some way c++, but maybe just learn the "real" thing first. For app developing try MFC (it sucks.. :)) or other frameworks (like wxWindows, GTK+, FLTK...).
Personaly I don't like the idea behind C# and .NET. That's why I'll try to avoid using it as long as I can.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I haven't seen a big push for C# outside of the web development and database crowd - the same folks who tend to use Visual Basic now. The point of my saying that is that I do not see C# as a competitor trying to kill C/C++ off. C / C++ is not going away...

Get yourself:
1)Full knowledge of C or C++ and the Win32 API.
2)A free compiler (MingW) and a Free IDE(DEV-CPP).
3)A good set of your own functions, headers, libraries and templates (for DEV).
4)A good tool to develop resources fast and easy.
Its enough for you to go a long way and tell VB, .NET and C#rap people to shut up :)
