Default Did I pick the wrong langauge?!
For all you Computer Programmers:

I've been doing some Christmas shopping, (for myself ) , and I've been currently getting into Computer Programming. I'm learning Visual Basic.net at the moment, and it's quite fun so I decided to purchase another coding book on another language....C++

I was excited at first for C++ as I've heard alot about it, however, I looked at the syntax of the langauge and I wasn't happy. It doesn't follow the object oriented approach that I'm used to (and more fond of) as in vb.net. Is C++ valuable? Or should I learn something else, that I would enjoy more like Java or C#?

Isn't C# replacing C++ ?

Seems that way, I'm really upset I spent $40 on a C++ book. I'm hope we're both wrong.

C++ is ok but like Paul said, c# is the way to go if you want to stay away from the curve. I learned c++ a long time ago before php and it threw me off when I started php coding.....

It is more similar then say regular C. When I learned c++ after using C for years.....That was messy.... C is so easy. I think they teach it as an elective in High School now. Wish I could of done that, would of saved me a lot on student loans.

If you want to do application programming you need to learn C and C++ it is as simple as that.

Apache, Linux, Windows, PHP, MySQL and a lot more are programmed in them. Learn them, love them, Code them.

PHP, Javscript and Java are among languages commonly referred to as C-Syntax Languages. Their overall syntax is similar to C and thus C++. However the object systems in each are very different.

p.s. I took C as an elective in High School back in 1985.

Go for it.

C/C++ was, is, and most likely will be (in the near-middle future) THE language for all major Applications.
