No, it's really not that simple, I would say that if you are new to
programming then C++ is definitely preferable over C. If you on the
other hand have 20 years of experience with C and have never used C++
then C is a better language to use. Or put another way, what language
you should use depends on a lot of things, what prior experiences you
have, what type of application you are going to develop, on what
platforms the application will run and so on.

C# might be a good choice if you are new to programming and want to
target the Windows platform and have no need to work with legacy
applications.

Having said that I think that you can never waste your time by learning
C++ since it's an incredibly powerful, platform independent, multi-
paradigm programming language and lots of what you learn from it will be
applicable on other languages.


I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that both Turbo C++ and Borland
Studio6 C++ are Borland products, I've never personally used any of them
but I know some people who thinks it's still the best development
environment for C++. Visual C++ is part of Visual Studio .Net, notice
however that a newer version is available, Visual Studio 2005, and you
can download Visual C++ 2005 Express for free.

Since I've never used the Borland products I can't compare them but I
believe that most will agree that Visual C++ 2005 is preferable for C++
development under Windows (and gcc4 for Linux).


No, but you can use them to develop code that will compile on all of
them. Notice also that all applications (except some really old ones)
that run on XP will run on Vista, and the reverse is probably also true.
