A question about C#

[omg_lol]

Is it hard to learn? Like how much of a step up would it be from VB 08?

[Cephalopod]

It's not hard.

I went from VB6 -> C#.net and once you learn the basic syntax the knowledge you have in other languages just flows over. I still picked up a few c# books though, but in my beginners book I'm 8 chapters in (3/4 of the way) and I've only learnt two things -.-

Just make the move now.

I just started learning, with my only previous programming knowlege being from visual basic 2008, i am finding it really easy so far. i would recommend the official msdn video tutorials at Windows Development for Beginners Tier 2 | MSDN they are really helpful, and if you know a bit about vb 2008, you can probably start at lesson 4. once you click on thel ink, make sure you change the lesson from vb to c# at the top of the page.

C# is incredibly easy to learn. Especially if you've had any C/C++/Java background.

I think the syntax is the hardest for people to learn, the language itself is a pleasant relief to code in. What would have taken you 20 lines in other languages, can be done in 1-2.

Yeah, it's so strikingly similar to VB.Net it's not even funny.

The Syntax is the only the that bugs me sometimes, but once that barrier is leaped it's easy sailing.

Uuuh yeah, sure...It's really easy to learn compared to other high-level languages like C++ for example, but it's not incredibly easy to learn, definetely. I think it's the best choice for Windows programming. It's relatively easy and very powerful language.
