Filled it out.

Ignore my availability stuff please!

 

You know there were multiple "additional information regarding x" boxes right?

Can anyone give some background on why are there 3 C-programming languages? C/ C++ and C#? How similar are they? Which one is the most commonly used? Does C have any unique strengths?

C was the first. Then C#. Then C++. C# and C++ are the most commonly used today, with C still being incorporated in some programs. As far as unique strengths go, I don't know. Hopefully someone will strengthen / correct my answers.

Wrong.

 

C, then C++, then C# (but C# is a bit different as the .NET framework is a big provider of most things you end up using).

 

This article explains the differences more succinctly and accurately than I could possibly put it: https://www.udemy.co...og/c-vs-c-vs-c/

 

However, there's one part that doesn't quite ring true:

 

 

 

If you learn C#, you can read and modify C and C++ code, as well as take up Java programming.

Interesting, I always thought C++ was the most up to date. Just goes to show you how little I know about programming.. so far (smirk).

Good Article, Thanks.

Filled the form, thanks for offering this.

I'm excited. I can feel my brain expanding with thinking.

Programming is an excellent way to keep you sharp all the time.

C#...# = sharp...lulz

C and C++ are more lower level (deals with hardware and stuff). C # is more higher level and is not as flexible as the other two.

 

And I think C# is easier than C and C++ because you don't really use pointer and references in C# which could be confusing at times.

C# is much more object oriented, almost like java

C is mainly procedural but I guess some oop principles still could be applied in the design

C++ is primarily object oriented but supports procedural styles also

@Dan when do you think lessons will start?

asfjaskf Well hurry up . Nice sig btw

asfjaskf Well hurry up . Nice sig btw

I'm trying! Wanna learn things right though.

And thanks.

Of course, of course...

You pretty much still use method pointers, but the main reason C# is simpler to learn than C & C++ is that you don't have to have such a focus on memory management - a lot of this is handled by the .NET framework for free.

There's no varying level of object orientation - a language either supports the object orientation concept or it doesn't.

Early January. Will send a PM about lesson plans etc later this week.

[Zoma]

Oh damn it, I can't do this because my english hearing is a crappest than writed! But this would be great to improve my english and learn something

[grapes]

When do classes begin?

I think Dan's away at the moment so probably not for at least another week.

[Adam]

I'll ask him on Facebook, will edit post upon information retrieval.

[Junsu]

Oooo seems pretty cool. I thought most of NC's programs were coded in Python?
Also would prefer recorded sessions to watch them whenever instead of a specified time of the week

They are, Dan prefers C# though because he has more experience in that language.

Hey guys and gals - sorry about the inactivity here, still on vacation in Texas. I'll send that PM around gauging interest again in a few days. I've been working on a bit of a lesson plan based on the responses I received and think I have something that should interest most people.
