c# or java
Author
I already know c++ fairly well (I made a couple of games)
and i want to learn either java or c# i was leaning toward c#
what do you guys think?
depends on what you want to do. both languages are very similar and both are potentially cross platform. do you have any specifics of what you want to accomplish.
I must say opinion wise, I feel C# overall is the better language. The only gripe I have with C# is Mono which is the cross platform C#. The implementation is lacking behind MS. So with that in mind if you want cross platform go Java if you want windows go C#. If you want to learn a language that will make you money in the future in game development or just in the regular software dev field go C#. Don't get me wrong Java is great and can do a lot of stuff. I just prefer C#. Kinda shocking with me being a linux junky :P
Tutorials I am not sure. I learned C# and Java through books/school. I can however recommend any C# book by Oriley. Excellent books they put out.

I now recommend Head First C# to anyone that wants to learn C#.
And being a C++ programmer it shouldn't take you long to pick it up with this book. Having programmed in C++ before, it only took me about a week to read through it.

Second on O'Reilly's Head First C#. I'm using it now and it's really one of the better technical books I've ever used.

At this C# almost certainly has a much better future, due to it's increasing adoption rate in businesses and elsewhere. For the most part the .NET framework is great to work with, plus from what I hear XNA is a good library for games.
As for Java...let's just say I'm not a fan.
