Question from an old C/C++ programmer
-
Hey everyone. I've been out of the programming world for a number of years and would like to upgrade my knowledge. I don't need tutorials regarding how to program, per se, but rather an overview of the strengths/weaknesses of the differing languages. I'm new to the whole .net and C# world but have a strong understanding of programming principles and language structures, etc. I've worked with MFC in older versions of Visual Studio, although only in C++. I havn't touched VB since the mid '90s but if it has improved I'm not adverse to giving it another try. Where should I go to find good overviews of .net and C#, as well as changes to the visual studio interface? Thanks - mutty

Not sure how accurate it is but it's a good rough summary. http://www.jvoegele.com/software/langcomp.html[^] If you've been away from C++ for several years it might be worth looking at these. http://www.research.att.com/~bs/DnE2005.pdf[^] http://www.research.att.com/~bs/new_learning.pdf[^] Re: Visual Studio and .NET try here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnanchor/html/VSNETAnchor.asp[^] Kevin
