Re: new to programming, C# a good choice?

Well, each person learns programming differently so it is hard to know if C#
is a good starting point for you. Having said that, C# is a clean and easy
to use language. There is not much to the language itself. It does have
all the main constructs that a language should have such as conditions and
loops.

C# by itself cannot do much. It relies on the .NET framework which can get
confusing as there are a lot of classes and a lot of ways of doing
something.
