Recent research in primate programming suggests computing

If you plan to remain in the MS WINDOWS domain and program for that
platform, a transition to C# is a better choice. However, if one sunny
day you'll be considering to program for other platforms ( say
GNU/LINUX systems ), you'll find that your knowledge of C/C++ is a
great help. But, after all, your requirements should provide a hint to
what language and tools you'll need.
Essentially, you'll be using a language and it's standard library + a
foundation library that helps programming for a specific platform (say
Microsoft Foundation Classes MFC for Visual C++ ).
Good luck.

If you know VB and have some idea how a processor works at machine level, it
shouldn't take more than a few days to learn C.
Total nonsense, unless by few days you meant few years. C is CPU
independent, and VB has as much in common with C as a cheeseburger and
coke has to a hot roast dinner with potatoes and red wine.

ANSI 'C' might be hardware independant
- but most libraries are not
And the majority of C programmers can do squat without their libraries
.... of course Windows is a 'Library'

C# gives you very good performance - you should know how to use the

some very neat features, like Generics - that should give a boost to

That's what I heard *someday* Microsoft promises, C# will have performance.
And in carefully constructed circumstances, sometime in the future,
Microsoft says might even make it be faster than C++ in the same carefully
constructed situation. In the mean time though, it's a Java.

I completely disagree. For that, you'll have to dig into some
documentation and do some reading.. there are many articles and papers
out there that compare Java and C# in terms of many features and qualities.

Would you please stop posting this question.
You have reworded it, but alas, it is the same and has been dealt
with before.
Search the C++, C and VB newsgroups for messages that are
destined for "rec.woodworking".
If you are going to post again, to the same groups,
please tell us how you are relating the topic to all of the
