I want to learn a new language, but I don't know which I should learn.
I probably should have made this before the other thread asking about Visual C++.
Anyways, I looked at C++ and it looks complicated as hell. Way above my head. Java looks more simple.
I am wondering though if Java has a visual aspect to it, similar to VB where you can drag and drop GUI items instead of hard-coding them.
Also, is Visual J# the same as Java?
With visual studio, you can drag and drop the GUI. You just need to code what the button or textfield does.

No.
And the answer is C#.
- simpler than C++
- power of C++
- similar to Java
- doesn't have any of Java's thousands of caveats
- has a visual form editor, and it's highly targeted towards GUIs

You should tell us what you want to do with it. Or just look at this thread: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=700269[/url]

It is, but it's not that useful for game programming (especially in 3D). If that's what you want to do learn C++.
If you want to make GUI programs learn Java (or C#, but Java is cross-platform while C# is only supported on Windows and kinda works on Linux)

Yes, there are IDEs that can do that. Netbeans and Eclipse are good.
C++ IDEs can do that too.

No, read this if you want to know more about it: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_Sharp[/url]
Well, both Ogre and SFML has .Net wrappers, and of course there's XNA. I'd say it's possible to make a game in C#. It's just not that used very often for games.
And if you're feeling adventurous, there's DirectX bindings.

Eclipse can do that?

I don't think so...?
Not out-of-the-box, but there are plugins for that.

Cool.
No offence but why not search?
Atleast search on this forum, there was a "C++ vs Java, which should I learn" thread literally a few days ago.
java? heh? enjoy never having an executable
