Hi guys. Do you think C# and other .Net compliant languages good for programming? Is .Net framework good for programmers? I am just wondering since I am a database programmer concentrating on C# and have some plans in the future to pursue my life-long dream of becoming a computer game programmer. Thanks and expect more questions from me! LOL

Like most environments, .net can''t be said to be "good for programmers" or not.

It''s more suitable to a task or not. At the moment, .net is quite unproven for games, c++ being the most popular.

Whether .net is better for games or not I don''t know. I''ve not used it.

Hi guys.
Hello, and welcome!

Do you think C# and other .Net compliant languages good for programming?
Yes.

Is .Net framework good for programmers?
Yes.

However, not (currently) for game programming. Sure, you can make games using them, but for raw power and performance you''ll be hard pressed to be C or C++ for the next couple of years. As processors beef up and gaming frameworks are built, however, the playing field will level and languages like C#, Java and JavaScript (that includes other scripting languages like Python and *gasp* Perl) will really gain prominence.
