Yeah, either start high, or low, but definately not in the middle.

What is C#? I assume its not C? Sorry for being noobish

C# is like java. Its microsoft's version of a java-like high level language where you dont have to really worry about memory management.

Not .net right?

The reason c++ is hard is because it brings in both pointers (lower level programming) and objects (higher level programming). All the basics are the basics no matter what language you use, but pointers andobjects are the two big ones that differentiate everything. Thats why its best to either start off high (c# / java) because it abstracts pointers where you dont have to worry about memory management, or c, where it doesnt have object oriented features but has all the memory management. c++ has both, which is why if your a beginner you may be overwhelmed with both.

Indeed, which is why C# is a good place to start.

Thanks for all the imput guys. All this talk really puts things into prospective. Guess I was was getting alittle carried away there with the videogame programming. Think I will start with C like some of the posts are suggesting. However some people mentioned Phthon. Is that a popular language or just easy to get into?

[QUOTE="British_Azimio"]Personally, I urge you to learn C, not C++.British_Azimio

For self learning? Well, hell, why not go for Assembly?

So C is easier to learn than C++? I want to get a good foothold on programming. Something thats easy to learn at your own pace. Reason I was thinking of C++ is that I hear it is so popular and most programs/games are coded with C++. Guess i'll go with C though and work my way up from there.

Hi guys. I recently had an urge to teach myself C++. I was wondering though, seeing as I love video games im thinking I might want to try and teacch myself videogame programming. Anyone out there have any knowledge of C++? Do you think it would be wise to jump straight into videogame programming or learn C++ first then work towards videogame programming?

Hi guys im really looking forward to the release of Guild Wars 2. However im starting to have serious concerns that my laptop will not be able to play this game. Currently I am playing WOW withought any problems and Star Wars the old republic with graphics and setting toned down. However I ran a test on www.systemrequirementslab.com and I got this not so thrilling results. It says i failed. I know that sometimes this site can give bogus info. So what do you guys think?
