    c# is a new object oriented language based on .net technology. It looks to be a cross of c++ and java but the final design is still not yet finalised. You can get information on this from microsofts website. ask dean for c# links he prolly has loads by now!
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
    And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi

    What more do you want to know?

    > object oriented language

    From my understanding an OO language is one that encourages you to put code into pieces called "classes". An object is an instantiation of a class. This allows your code to be more reusable and portable.

    In all seriousness, Java's just another programming language, but it happens to be popular because it's aimed at the web and is object-oriented. It's an ugly, slow language, but lots of people seem to love it.

    My CPSC-101 prof talked for great lengths about how it was great because you didn't need to know what was going on in the OS - Java took care of it and you were left in ignorant bliss. My question was "What if you want to know?" That's why you use C, I guess.
