Ok, recently i've decided to learn programming, applications etc.

I talked to a friend about it and he said it's better learning C# first before anything.

Is this true, also whats the difference between C# and C++.

I would like info on where to start programming on if C# was false information given.

Thanks

afaik c# is the .net version of C++.

and it helps if you have something specific in mind that you want to create. That way you can plan to some extent what you need to know.

I'd start by reading several books. Like learning spoken languages I think it's better to try and get a basic understanding of the grammar first and the vocabulary later.

Also google for course notes from universities. There's a lot of useful stuff around, for instance:

^^ complete with powerpoint presentations from lectures
