My personal advice is if you can stay away from Java; if you can C++/ C is the best for making practical and high performance software. For the stability and performance losses JAVA is definitely not worth it. I would much rather learn to be a better coder and make software with less Buffer overflows, or learn to thoroughly debug software myself.

Skeem, do u have any ebooks about borland's deplhi? i would kinda like to learn that because its cooller then Vb and easier then C++ then i could go on the learn borland C++

Maybe double check you have "Adobe PDF Reader". :wink:

EDIT: Just a question...how would you guys rate C# as a language?

C sharp as it is pronounced (I've heard MANY people in my days call it C number) the # sign is in reference to the sharp symbol used in music. Is  more of a "type - safe" language, C# in short is similar Java in some aspects that it has different methods of dealing with strings and code that make it more stable and safer from the buffer overflow issues that are rampant in C++ when you are starting out, they still happen- of course to even the most expert programmers. In addition, "type safe" software such as C# and Java significantly reduce the other issues such as sign-conversion bugs, integer overflows, etc... but C# cannot compare to the performance of C++, and it pales in comparison to something coded in Assembly language.

If it were me, I would stick with C / C++ (I think for more object oriented programming I would prefer C++) and to lessen your chances of buffer overflows I would use a good code-scanning tools such as PREfix PREfast etc.. to help limit the amount of errata in your code.

I don't see it as a language at all. I see it as a bastard COPY of a language that really adds nothing new that couldn't have been used to upgrade the original. It is in itself not a new language except for the fact that in its creation people changed the method calls to a lot of things. Its creation was based on the concept of "OMG I NEED +REP!" so it's author added some things, changed others,, and now wants respect for not actually doing much of anything.

It does have its uses however,, but sadly I've yet to find 1 instance where I've ever needed to take advantage over them because c++ was unable to do the exact same thing.

For the sake of consistancy and the practice of a better/true language,,, I'd stick with C or C++. As stated before they both suffer from overflows BUT whose fault is that? Yours! C and C++ are generally the same thing except C++ is a more general, easier to use form of the language taking away all of the options available to you by assuming you want to use the option that is used 95% of the time. In C you'd have to tell the compiler which options to use over and over even if they are the same ones each time. A tad more involved BUT a lot more powerful. Think of difference between to 2 as a manual transmission(C) vs an automatic(C++). One waits and expects you to tell it what to do each time and the other assumes and does it for you.

Hey Skeem,
I absolutely love what you have done and it has motivated me alot. Here is the C++ Primer 5th edition:

Thank you for sharing the book with me and others who will view this thread. This thread is horribly outdated and not very detailed, I'm going to create a new thread that's much more detailed for C++ in the near future.

Thats awesome. I learned alot from the Learn in 21 Days books. I was a mod on GC, but I think Im gonna stay at DA. You should totally make a new thread im sure it will help alot more people.
