i have just passed my high school i am about to start college so i thought to learn c++ i have read the basic concepts and mastered them i wanna do some serious programming i have got some ideas too i was wondering whether i should do programming in vc++ 2008 or in c++? in terms of speed,cpu usage , memory taken oh!

vc++ 2008 is an IDE, you can use c++.net or c++, C++ is always faster then a .net language and gives you more flexability, while the .net framework saves an incredible amount of time for typing as everything is basically at your fingertips. It all depends on what you want to do really.

You asked about C++ here because you know VB ? VB.NET and C# are essentially the same thing, and I'd expect more people want .NET than C++, in the windows world at least. You can call any C++ API from C# via interop, so it's unlikely that C# will hit any brick walls for you, unless you want to write games. I would say focus on being good at whatever language your course teaches, and then go from there.

I think what the other replies you have had to your question have failed to take into account, is the type of projects you are working on. The type of project may determine the best language, for example the .NET languages are only really suitable for Windows based programs. If you indent to write programs for embedding into other devices or Unix type systems, then C++ would be a better choice.
