Re: c# is a good way to learn c

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Another news flash: Have you heard of Linux? Its got a tremendous
following and most everything is written in C. C is not going anywhere
anytime soon. With that said however, I agree that unless you are planning
to write very low level applications, write applications for Linux or have
some specific reason to learn C, its pointless. Other than the basic
language constructs, its not in anyway related to C++ or C#. C has no
concept of classes or other object related programming practices and as such
it requires a totally different approach to developing the application.

Which means later when you come back to C# you will have to relearn how to
write good code as C practices are not going to work in C#.

my 2 cents,
