Where to start?

Question

Is it silly to approach C++ with no experience in C or C#?

Answer 1

No, it's just a superset of C, and not all that related to C#. I wouldn't recommend trying C/C++ as a first language if you've never programmed, though.

Answer 2

@Yash, just like @Stefan said, C++ is quite different from html and css. I would start with something like python or even java if you're a quick learner so you can understand core programming concepts before tackling C++. Since C++ deals more directly with memory allocation, it can get confusing very easily for those who haven't seen it before

Answer 3

They are different languages, with there similarities. Depending on what you want to do C# is great for .net framework and libraries. If you want to make video games, the only difference between C# and C++ is the engine that uses them. Unreal Engine 4 uses C++ while Unity uses C# and Lua (smaller language). I would say try out all of them and see which one you like and understand the best. It is not a silly approach.

Answer 4

@Yash: Well, neither HTML nor CSS are general purpose programming languages. C++ will be quite a different experience for you.

Answer 5

@Garrett I have some experience in HTML and CSS, can I proceed for either among these??
