C# / C++ / VB

What do you think is the best beginner coding software?
Let me know what you think is the best and why it is the best beginner coding software!

Still waiting for answers. Thanks!

I don't know if you've noticed, but this part of the forum isn't as alive as it used to be.
You're better off asking the question on another forum, or even better would be to search the
internet and get used to it since you're going to search alot when you're coding and stumble upon problems.

Yes, exactly.

Ok, let me start off, assuming 'VB' you mean VB.NET, well, VB.NET is one of the easiest languages to read and understand. However, C++ is a powerful language. It all depends on what you want to code/develop. VB.NET and C# are slightly identical (they differ in their syntax), they both are used to program on the .NET Framework.

tl;dr: It depends on what you want to code/develop.

vb.net is really easy to learn and if you use the thousands of libraries and frameworks it's even pretty funny to code with.
C# is as easy as vb.net (for me even easier) and also pretty powerful. Many game engines allow C# to be the syntax to code with.
C++ is the most native/powerful. In combination with ASM you can't be stopped by any obstacles in game hacking. But it take way longer to learn and even understand. To code good performance applications with structured and clean code it takes some years.

So if you want to start coding, just learn C#, and for the future it's a good basis for C++.

Pretty much what the user above me stated. VB.NET is basically plain English. It's the easiest for a beginner with no prior experience in programming to understand. After that, comes C#. Both VB.NET and C# compile to IL. So, pretty much whatever you do in VB.NET, you can achieve it in C# and vice versa. However, the syntax of C# syntax is slightly harder to understand than that of VB.NET.

If you are currently not aiming at professional programming, have a lot of time between your hands, and just generally looking to get a touch on programming, start with VB.NET. When you feel that you've had enough of it, move on to C#. It will be easy for you to switch.

As for C++, I personally wouldn't recommend it for a complete beginner. It's very powerful, but also very complex. You will face too many obstacles with it, especially if you don't have a teacher for it.

This is my favorite site for comparison between VB.NET and C#. Have a look at it: http://www.harding.edu/fmccown/vbnet...omparison.html
