What language to use?
-
When I started programing I started with C++. I used MFC then. I feel easy programing in C++ and my friends do say that I am very good in it. Then I started C# just for fun. I liked that language very much. Now I have to do my final project. I am not able to select the language for myself because on one side is my C++ skill and on other side is my eagerness towards C#. What should I select?

Do you already know what your final project will be? Decide what the nature of the problem is and then choose what you think is the most appropriate (or easiest if they're equally appropriate) language to do it in.

IMHO, you should use the language that you're most comfotable in. The emphasis is on getting a working project in on time. If you can do that using C#, then great! If learning C# along the way is going to put your project at risk of being late, then C++ would be the way to go. Just get the project basics working and complete first. Yo ucan go back and add any "fluff" for some extra credit, if possible, later, AFTER you have something complete to turn in.

Quite frankly, C# and C++ can both do the same things, I don't see any reason to choose one over the other in terms of capability, unless you're choosing something really hardcore that needs to squeeze out every ounce of performance ( and then C would be better again ). It really depends, .NET offers a lot of stuff. I know when I use C++, I use function pointers more than I ever did, because I miss delegates so much...

First of all thanx alot to all of you for helping and to those as well who didn't. I don't know y some ppl start quarreling over an unimportant issue rather than spreading their ideas in an effective manner. Now I realy realise that I should select the language on the basis of type of the project I am selecting as Kevin McFarlane has suggested. Thanx again to all U :rose:

Do the same project in three different languages (that should impress the hell outa the instructor). You can get Pascal for free, and I assume you already have VS2005, so you have C++ and C# available.
