VB, C++ and VC++

[Alpha]

I'm starting to learn a programming language, and I'm puzzled between VB, C++ and VC++.

I know Visual C++ isn't a language, it's an extension for C++ and a compiler.

I seriously need an opinion, a wise one. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't post.

Thanks.

VB is a piece of trash and visual C++ is just the same as C++ its just that visual C++ has the .net framework.

if you want to start learning a programming language i suggest you to try out PHP, its a web language that has a similar syntax to C++, it will give you a feel for how C++ works.

And once you get a good hang of PHP you can try and step over to C++...

I throw VB out of the equation, some people told me to learn C#. Some people say that C++ is old.

I can't find a good teaching source for C++. If any one knows any, please help me.

The people that told you C++ is old obviously dont know how things work.

Everything is C++ it is the core of your entire operating system.

I found this to be a very helpful source in C++ programming: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

You can just build a program and test it yourself, and once you feel you're ready try to do something freaky with what you've learned so far

Thank you, I will just go with C++. I have no programming experience what so ever, just Lua lol.

When I started learning C++, I didn't know PHP yet and you don't need to know it. It is easy to learn how C++ works.

But I will recommend you to start learning the basics and do simple things with what did you learn before. Then, learn other thing and do the same.

It's the easier way to learn.
