I Eat My Own Words

John Burns

i remember saying that VB.NET was easier to learn that C#. Well im now finding it the other way around.
Now that i get into the language and start understanding properties, variables, classes and instances ect it all seems to much less verbose than VB.
So i am glad i took the feedback from you guys and to stopped moaning as much and comparing languages :)
The persistance has paid off and now understanding a lot of C# (and long nights after work with eyes half shut reading books till all hours in the morning) but all good!

thanks for the reply Sam; it is certinallly proving alot easier than i expected. I have a habbit of looking for things to be complex and this makes them more difficualt for me as i like to understand everything and how it all works, im my own worst enemy for learning, some call it a good thing :)

The original Basic language was designed to teach programming; it was not initially designed as a serious language. Microsoft has improved the language extensively.

The design of the C# language is based on C++ with improvements based on Java; Java is also based on C++ in many ways. C++ was partially designed for the purpose of writing the Unix operating system; C++ was definitely a serious languge from the beginning.

If you are laready working on any other language even from outside .Net, it should help you understand things much faster as there are more similarities than disimilar things to learn..
