AS vs VB vs C++?

Elo, Just crossed my mind while I was eating bread with N[color=red]utella[/color] (yum!)

What’s the difference between AS, VB and C++?

I am taking Advanced Programming next year (Year9) and we’re gonna be though some basic-intermediate VB…I wanna head towards C++ (Know any site that give the basics for C++?)

So…What are the Major diff?

In terms of coding, there are some similarities. But Actionscript is for flash animation and interactivity. Visual Basic is for creating small programmes whether it maybe a global time converter or a encypter for example. C++ is a major language for creating games. If your into programming, since you’ve sauid you want to get into C++ than I suggest you pick Software Design and Development and get real good experience with VB. I dont think you will be learning C++ at school but in Year 11, you can do a tafe course while at school and possibly a career path.

C++ is a lot harder than VB. I tryed C++ and quit. Im now doing vb and its great. a lot easier, a lot more fun. actually, i just started learning vb last week. erm ive made one program. its a punter for aim :smiley: But C++ is a lot harder imo, vb is, um, more visual? :stuck_out_tongue:

oh and AS is the devil :smiley:

C++ is a language for real men :wink:

VB is a language for wusses :smiley:

You might want to learn C first - there are free command line compilers for C and C++ at http://mingw.org/ :slight_smile:

(my school is still trying to teach my class HTML. don’t worry about getting ahead of the rest, if you find the stuff interesting)

Thx fellas! I’ve got a better idea on them. :slight_smile:

My bro’s friend, who’s a very good programmer, said to start learning C++ now so that i’ll sail through in Uni. Know any links for the basics of C++? I’ll google it when i’m free…but any that you recomand? :wink:

Well, I primarily program in C, but you could take a look at the free books at http://osdn.safaribooksonline.com/ :slight_smile:
