| Jul 1, 2014 at 15:17 | comment | added | rlms | I would definitely not recommend learning C++ and C# from K&R, furthermore, I would advise against most people learning C as a first programming language. C is quite a hard language - it is much closer to the machine than most modern languages. Instead, I'd recommend learning something like Haskell if you have a strong maths background, and something like Python otherwise. I'd only recommend C if you are an electrical engineer or something. Programming skills are easy to transfer between langauges - I think it would be better to learn to program in an easy language first. | |
| Jul 1, 2014 at 11:56 | comment | added | Theodoros Chatzigiannakis | These are quite different languages. C++ is inspired by C and C# is inspired by C++ and Java, but they are by no means the same language, not by a long (or "long int", in C) shot. | |
| Jul 1, 2014 at 9:49 | comment | added | Sam | Your confusion seem to be caused by the similar names. C, C++ and C# are different languages, with C# having nothing in common with C. There is no such thing like "C languages". And Visual Studio is a development environment, which is a fancy name for a complex code editor. It is used to write programs in many unrelated languages - but many people associate it with C#. | |

| Jul 1, 2014 at 3:48 | comment | added | Patrick Collins | @JoeBallard I think that suggests that C is "less advanced," which isn't true -- a better comparison might be trying to learn Italian from a French textbook. Both Romance languages, but not informative for "Romance languages in general." | |

| Jun 30, 2014 at 22:29 | comment | added | Bryan Chen | I have no idea why learning C have anything to do with C++ and C#... one at a time please. Sometimes it is not possible to directly translate something in one language to another language (or it will be very very bad to do so) | |
