(C++) or (C++ .net) or (C# (C-Sharp))

Hey, I was a VB .net programmer. Then I dropped it. Now I am interested in game-dev. So I wanted to ask you something. I have all these utilities available to me but which one should I choose to use??? I have Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .net Ok, now the question. Which one from C++, C++ .net, C#(sharp) should I choose to use. I was thinking more towards C# since it is the newest one and I have a book on it to program. Which one of these would be best to make DirectX-based games. Thanx Any advice would be use-/helpful... BattleGuard Courage is no lack of fear, it is the will to act in spite of it

Give the How to Design Programs book a read and tell me if you really think it''s hard to grasp.

Actually it reminds me of the best c++ I''ve come across yet for beginners
Yeah dr scheme and it''s use of images looks pretty cool I''ll have to check it out.

Not sure you understand .net.

As you might notice .net is a meta-language.

Meaning everything it does compiles a XML based code structure.

?!?!?

Arild, you really are contributing alot.

If I was setting up a computer science curriculum, I would probably have c++ for two semesters, then the third semester would use lisp/scheme or some other functional language.

Prefix notation, while unambigous, would probably contribute to some frustration learning.

Thanks for keeping the open mind. I was a bit put off my the cover of the book, but I decided to look up this Francis Glassborow and I found that he/she is very well read. I don't think C++ is capable of the same abstractions as Scheme and Glassborow confesses so in their review of Art of the Meta-Object Protocol*.

*I realise Scheme is not directly mentioned, but Scheme's macro language is powerful enough to implement a CLOS-like language.

WRT Arild being told about .Net: very chuckle-worthy. Next bishops_pass or SabreMan will come back and someone will explain Common Lisp to them.

Not trying to say "Arild Fines" doesn''t know anything just trying to clear up what he said is very misleading about the framework.

He suggested that "VS.net" installs the compilers which is not true.

It is true that it "C++.net" can create native images but no other language as the base is managed.

And again its a meta-language, look into it. Thats how you can create attributes, It tells the compiler about the program at runtime. Something traditional languages can not, which provides the GC with the information about the application that it needs.
