Yeah, I know C, although C++ and C# would be the languages I'd recommend people learn if they want to program for a profession.

I honestly don't know how people can actually like C# so much.. Seriously, it's so.. I don't know lol

I had to program drivers for an Ethernet controller, and then make a GUI for it with C# on grade 11. Thank God it was an easy thing to do.. C# is IMO a terrible language X_x

C++ is teh best one (imo) ;D

C++ is good for some things but it's terrible if you write business software. C# is great for team projects especially when the scope runs for several years.

I wrote a rudimentary audio mixer using C back in university, but haven't touched it since. C isn't really as useful these days, I think, as are its derivatives, especially Java and C#. C++ is also fairly handy to have under your belt.

C, however, still serves a purpose. I think it's useful as a first step, a beginning language and a gateway to other, newer, and potentially more powerful languages.

I personally don't like C#. And it's a matter of taste ;D

I know quite a lot of C#, and it's not that great at all.

C++ is comfortable, and has quite great IDE's. Anything you would do with C#, I could do it with C++. Meh.

Also, C++ is portable (Unlike C# which is dependent on .NET), and I believe (never tested, may be wrong, but almost sure) performance-wise, it's better and faster.

Just use whatever is best for the situation. I write business software. The company I work for uses C# and Java. Personally I don't care. Whatever puts food on the table works for me.

It doesn't seem like C is used much anymore.

I'm learning Java right now, and I want to learn C++ as well.

A good C++ programmer should have knowledge on C. That's the way I see it anyways.

I feel like I'm way behind if I have to get the knowledge of other lauganges.

I was told to avoid VB... I was told that users would pick up bad habits. it's too Basic

Java is too much... as C is simpler. As java throw alot at you. it's painful.

Mircosoft offers C# Express for free... I took a test run and it is getting on my nerves alittle bit. I had to back away, I think I'll take another shot at it some other time.

I still look forward writing software in Java... it's too much of a challenge thou.
