C# questions




Posted by stuffradio, 12-08-2007, 10:23 PM
Is this programming language worth learning? What are some benefits of using it compared to C/C++?

Posted by null, 12-09-2007, 02:53 AM
1) Yes, there is a much bigger demand for it than VB.NET. 2) You can't compare C# to C/C++ (apples and oranges). C# manages memory for you, in C/C++ you have to write code to reserve memery by using pointers. I never undersand the questions like "what language should I learn or which language is the best?". It all depends on what you are trying to achieve.

I understand where you are getting at with your annoyance. I want to make web applications, like try and make a chat type thing. With sockets, etc. Just so I can play around with it.

Well, no harm can come from trying it. And C# is definitely a language that can achieve what you're after.

C# would be good as you will find a lot of examples on the internet. Just make sure that you really need to deal with sockets if you are just creating a web application. Typically you do not need to do it. If you are looking for a chat solution. Just search for free ajax chat solutions available in C#.

C# is definitely what you're looking for.

I would be that sure You can also recommend ruby or php

Oh, by no means is it the only option but I was just answering in the scope of the original question Having said that, HTML isn't really an ideal medium for a chat program. Perhaps a Java applet or (heaven forfend) an ActiveX control would make for a more pleasant experience?

You are correct. But I saw a couple of nice chat software build using AJAX - look very good and work smoothly. Do not recommend ActiveX, it will not work on firefox

I guess you may find many opensource chat solutions in the Internet. Just pick up more appropriated whatever lanuage it use and adjust it to your needs, studing that language.

Sounds like a very good advise.
