c# or c++

I have started learning c++, I would like to learn to create some small windows apps. Would I be better off learning c# instead? I wonder at this stage if I spend a long time on c++ then have to switch to c#, I may as well do it now. Regards Paul

The next version of Windows will have a .NET-based API (WinFX) and C# will be the primary way of working with it. If you want to do other things in the future, perhaps on other platforms then it might be worth learning C++ as well. Kevin

C# is definately easier, and certainly makes it harder to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ is definately more powerful and has a richer standard library. I'd recommend starting on C#, and moving to C++ if you need to in future. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
