Is it the next big thing? Should I start learning that instead of C++? What's the similarities? Is it easy to proceed to C# from C++?

C# is more like Java than C++, whether it's the next "big" thing is still up in the air. I'd say that if you have a strong grounding in C++ you can go to any language with relative ease. Programming concepts aren't that different, it's just the syntax of the languages that you really have to learn.

Most definitely not, C++ is still one of the heaviest hitters right now, coming second only to C in usage as far as I know.

Just wondering: How is C# pronounced? "C-numbersign?"
napKIN
C sharp
Its pronounced D Flat

yea, thats why some ppl call it D-Flat, cuz C-Sharp and D-Flat are the same note (in music)

man, every time I come to these boards I leave feeling a little more educated I've gotta start calling it D-flat now!Originally posted by Okiesmokie

That will make people understand you...

Agreed. C# and Dot Net is currently a toy being pushed by M$ with the usual "we promise to save the world" in it.Originally posted by Prelude

Apart from those bozos at ZDNet who would advertise for microsoft even if it asked them not to, the fact is that only MSDN takes it seriously.
I did not try C#, but did some research into VB.Net and the .Net framework. While a nice tool, the fact is that the runtime lib is HUGE. Only when it ships with the OS will it make any sense. Furthermore, the promised portability will only be possible when other OSes ship with .Net... IMHO, that will not happen.
But even if they did (I would find it amusing to say the least. Just imagine Linux with Microsoft .Net(TM) in it... urgh!), there's a long distance between giving a tool and putting people to use it.

In normal life, it is often used to preceed a number and is pronounced number, such as #1 == number one
In music, the # character is used to denote (<-- Look a pun!) the note above and is said sharp
E.g. There is a note between C and D, it is called C#. That same note can also be referred to as D-flat. I think there is a character for flat but I don't remember it.
Hope that helped.
Now on the topic of C-Hash/D-Flat as I like to call it, I haven't looked into it all that much but if it's microsoft's answer to Java, like ASP was microsoft's answer to CGI (ASP was microsoft's answer to CGI wasn't it?), then I think it will go the same way as ASP. That is, down.
