Hi, I am trying to update my article located on bash-like prompt in PowerShell and app run When I click "Update My Article" it takes me to following URL: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/SubmissionWizard.aspx?aid=224166 And it says, "Something bad happened We're not sure what, but we have a few guesses. Problem: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Ticket: 7717195 Server: Web03" I was wondering if you could me fix this.

Me too have adopted powershell. It's funny that my first fun with computers started with batch files.. It's also funny how I came to computer science growing up in a remote country side area where a computer was not available within the perimeter of 7 km. I collected a book of norton which introduced me to computers.. I was just imagining how computers look like.. how different components work and how I will deal with this magnificent invention if I stand face to face. :) A year later I bought a book of DOS and my .bat started.

For languages, projects supported by Visual Studio I use it's own IDE. For others Notepad++ does pretty good for me. :)

Learning order depends. If someone learns C/C++ first and then he learns C# he will enjoy C# because he knows that things are just easier in C#. It's not like that his knowledge in C/C++ isn't only useful in learning new OOP languages but also to understand how really things work in deeper extent. The `real man` is one who doesn't care about the language/platform but solves the problem in best way using best tools available. Why bother spending years to develop the GUI using C++ if same can be done with C# in months? Why bother using C# when more control over system is necessary i.e., developing device drivers or creating a heavy game with lots of graphics operation requiring direct system API calls. In that case you should C/C++.
