C, C++, C# are all examples of platform dependant languages.

Java, of course, overcomes these problems as it is platform independant - I will explain more if you are interested in Java - and the same code libraries and code runs on any machine. If you really need to learn a C type language (there are lots of benefits too e.g. speed) then I'd suggest learning C#. It is a OO form of C without lots of the nasty bits of the original C language. Nice to code in and becoming popular as part of the .NET platform. If this is for you (far easier than C++) then download the microsoft .net framework 1.1 and get a book like 'Mastering Visual C#' by SYBEX... This covers the language well. When you are ready to make graphical progs - get a copy of Visual Studio.NET and away you go... Hope this helps. Sorry about long post.

And, don't forget to answer my 13 questions regarding the C.
And after that, answer these 13 questions based on C++ on another post and then about finally C# again ofcourse in another post.
I am sure newbies would appreciate your inputs. Don't take this as a waste of time but as newbies's investments.
