Ive been learning about C++, but I would like to start with an easier language. Im going to be a freshmen this year, and Ill be in a java class, as its the only language tought in the school. But on top of that, in my spare time, I would like to learn either C# or Visual Basic. Based on what people have told me, they both are great languages to build applications and are good for beginner languages. Much more so than C++ anyway. So I would like to know which language is a more powerfull language. Also, even though I'm not very good with any language, I would like to have a career in programming in the future. Which brings me to one more question. Is C# or Visual Basic looked upon as being better when trying to get a job in the programming field? Thats the best way I could word that last question, but I hope you understand what I mean.
Might it be smart to go with C# anyway as it will make it much easier to transitition from C# to C++ being that their syntax is more similar, then Visual Basic and C++? And because Im already quit comfortable with the C++ syntax?
Thanks in advance.
