About LinkBacksEvery time i log on i notice there are always more threads for C than C++. So why is it C is listed as the second option and not the first? Is that just me being pedantic?
This is a discussion on C then C++ within the General Discussions forums, part of the Community Boards category; Every time i log on i notice there are always more threads for C than C++. So why is it ...

Hmmm... Maybe ask in the general forum
It makes sense - C came before C++
And, yes, you are being pedantic :P

What are you talking about? C is the sixth option in that section.

It's second for me when I click "forum" up top
1. The illustrious leader (some call him "webmaster") seems to be more C++ inclined, if I've observed correctly. Heck, he's written a book on it!
2. The forum order on that page is fixed, and not based upon how many posts are added to each section - it's an irrelevant statistic.
In addition to what Matticus said, which I believe is the first reason, I have to say that the forum is named C board or C programming, so the visitor that comes here for first time, knows that here, C is been discussed. So, the webmaster placed C++ at the top, in order the user to see immediately that C++ is being discussed here too.

That's a very good answer, and might explain why the C# board is not as popular
Maybe bumping up C# might help
Fact - Beethoven wrote his first symphony in C
I doubt the position of the C# forum would matter as much as the fact that the online tutorials on the main website are on C and C++, and the fact that the webmaster is the author of a C++ beginner's book. My guess as to why the C forum sees more activity than the C++ forum: students are currently being taught programming in C more often than in C++.

exactly
Hey you! tweak your computer!
Why has this site never developed c# tutorials?
Fact - Beethoven wrote his first symphony in C
in my 6 and a half years on this board, I've never seen anyone request C# tutorials here. my guess is that it's related to the fact that there are already millions of C# tutorials out there - many of them in much more conspicuous places on the net - and no one here cares enough about C# to post another redundant tutorial.
Probably because there are not so many skilled C# individuals regularly visiting this board.
See for yourself. 99% of the threads are either C or C++.

If there would be a C sharp tutorial here, I would read it for sure.
And of course they won't ask for them.
Let this scenario: A guy who is interested in C# comes in the forum. Checks the traffic in the forum. Sees that C# is of low traffic.
What will do?
Search the forum for a thread like this, in order to submit his interest in C# tutorial or leave the forum?
You know the answer. You do it too, when you look tutorials for something.

This will result in many threads to be moved by the admins, since C and C++ code will be posted there.

Why? Honestly tutorials are among the dodgiest ways to learn anything and if we do have C# people here, they're being quiet about it. Which means that even if someone starts writing tutorials there is no one here to help with the usual peer reviews.If there would be a C sharp tutorial here, I would read it for sure.
That's C hash by the way; C sharp is a note!
It would practically make more sense having Java than C# as it more widely used and they are both as similar to C++. But it is just a "C Programming board" not a "Programming board" so the name was just a good excuse to add C# even though it was expected to have much less focus. I mean, c'mon, look at the logo on the top left of this page ("Your resource for C and C++")...
