For Windows, was is the best language to learn?
Hello, I'm new to this forum and have questions about getting started programming Windows applications.
What should I learn? Visual C++ or Visual Basic or C# ? I hear that C++ is being replaced by C#.
I have experience mostly with ANSI standard C (that's what they taught in college in 1994). In the past I have always used Notepad to edit the code, then compiled, linked and executed using a DOS command prompt. I have never programmed a Windows application that uses dialog boxes, graphical displays, etc.
I am not a computing professional - I work as a chemist. So I will be programming as a hobby in the Windows environment. I dont care much about programming for web pages like CGI Perl or anything along those lines.
Thanks for your advice.
