Ok I just received my brand spanking new copy of Visual Studio 2005.
Now comes the tough part. Which language do I want to learn? I have
no preference of one over the other and am a total beginner at C in
any variation. What I want to do with it: Initially I want to write a
rather simple
game mainly for my own entertainment, perhaps later others might
want to play it. Initially I have no need for Internet or database
or server connectivity but I want to start with a language that will
let me do basic stuff now and expand later as needed.

So which should I start with? Which will allow me the ability to
learn more advanced stuff if I decide to such as web based
activities, server connections, etc.?

Any and all help is appreciated.
Hi,

According to my 10 years exp in C++, my advice is start C -> C++ ->
VC++. If you want to do some real development and most optimized, it's
always recommended to go for C++.

Totally disagree on the beginning of the sequence. DO NOT start with C.
A huge waste of time.
