is it worth it learning C#?
hi guys, before i start learning C# i just wanna know if its worth it. please answer the poll. thx

you're a fish...
everyone said learn C++ coz its way better and you start learning C#...

Yeh honestly why did you ask for our opinion? Just go ahead and do whatever you were gonna do in the first place D:
If there was an option that said do whatever the fk you want cuz our opinions don't matter I would check that box. Since there isnt im not voting >_>

Well I understand your concern. But if you are going to make multiple threads, Make them on different sites. C# doesn't seem to be all that bad IMO though. It seems like java with access to pointers (it does right?) So i don't really see any problems with learning to hack in C#. However duly note you will only be able to receive help from one person in this section (BlackAngel). But good luck, and learn what you want to learn.
Well you could waste some weeks/months of your life learning C# and after that another few months when trying to make(not copy+paste code 
) hacks.
Or you could learn C++ and have an easy time hacking the shit out of games once you've learned alot(note: you can't learn all of C++, its always expanding and waaaaaaay to much for our tiny minds to grasp).
I prefer C++ since 90% of all game engines and SDK's are written in it(source engine, Cube engine, alot more).

There would be some benefits in learning, but those would be mainly for making programs not hacks. This guys has asked us a 100 times weather you can make hacks in C# and we keep saying yes, but that it is a lot more difficult then in C++, but he doesn't care that its more difficult in C#. There is no best language only the best language for the job, and since this guy wanted to make hacks when he was done I suggested him to learn C++ along with 20+ other people.
But he keeps insisting on C# as if he just wants us to say "Go for it! It's the best language to build hacks in." And has yet to give us or himself for that matter one good reason to choose the alternative D: GAhhh!
All comes down to what your ultimate goal is with programming.
If you look on a job-board like Dice, there's TONS more work available in C#/.NET than regular C++, so if you're looking to make a living developing software that's something to consider.
If you want to focus on 'Desktop Development' learning C# will make things a lot easier. Or you could learn C++ with MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) which takes a lot of the headaches out of the way. C# beats C++ hands down for quickness of being able to develop windows apps, however you need the .NET Framework installed to run your apps and comparing to C++ there is a speed-difference (but not an 'OMG THIS PROGRAM IS CRAWLING!' difference
)
If you want Develop Web-Based Applications there's naturally Java, but things like ASP.NET (which uses either VB.NET or C# in the back end) are VERY popular right now together with things like SilverLight & Ajax.
If you're more into the 'nuts & bolts' of how things work, the 'insides' of a program, you want to optimize algorithms etc etc, and don't really care about writing full windows applications but more stuff that's running in the background C++ gives you easier access to everything that's going on there. This can also still be done in C#, however as my post about string conversion in the 'encrypt.exe' thread shows sometimes you need to do a bunch of extra work to do things that might be simpler in C++.
(while the reverse also goes for UI things.. C# is simpler than C++ unless you use MFC etc)
When I started C# didn't even exist, so I had started with Basic on a Commodore 64 (yeah.... that's right lol one of those 'antique' brown boxes)
did Basic on the Amiga, learned some C on the amiga switched to PC, learned some pascal, switched to C++ (Borland 3.1 in MS-DOS FTW!) since that just felt a lot better to me than pascal and been working with it ever since. (and some TASM too..) Learning C# after already knowing C++ is definitely an easy transition.
That said though if your goal IS to pursue software development as a career then ANY Moden Object-Oriented language that 'clicks' with you mentally and keeps your interest is a PLUS. Just see where it takes you and figure out what feels right.. heck.. some people are making hacks in Pascal/Delphi!
Just figure out what your goal is, and maybe try a tutorial on both and see what feels better to you.

I started with C# just to learn programming. It is much less complex than C++ and useful. However, if you plan on hacking, which I'm assuming because this is a hacking forum, C++ is the better choice. I've tried hacking with C# and it failed epicly. C++ is easy to hack with so go with that.
Just for laughs I should take some of the public C++ hacks and rewrite them in C# to show what's involved lol

Gimme a link?
rapid share.com/files/284439901/RoyalHack_v1.0d_Base.rar.html
yes its worth it, but why not learn c++ instead? its much better

But yeah for hacking C++ is Probably better.
And yeah make a rewrite in C# BA =)
