C# is the successor to C++, but with slightly friendlier syntax. I wont say its easy or hard to learn as that would depend on the individual trying to learn it. Having a year head start should help however.

For free C# [And other .NET languages] Get the .Net Framework, and Sharp Develop, because the framework includes compilers for a number of .Net lanuages [Inc. c#] and SharpDevelop is an IDE for the very purpose

Ok, now I get why C is called C, and why C++ is called C++, but why is C# called C#?

for (c=1; c++; 18)
..........^^^

the standard inc command for C++ is to put ++ after hte variable.

Thats sounds like a good enough reasone to name it C++ to me.

This is my counting program

do: print "87" : loop
