my ideal job <3 just not the experiance to apply yet, damn experiance

[imported_Shadow]

Yea I would love to do this job too. What drives me nuts is C# is going to eventually replace C, C+ and C++ yet S-E is still using them.

[matt1912]

ya well i have more c# experiance as well, however going from c# to c++ is much easier than the other way round, since c# is a copy of java, and java is the new version of c++

[imported_Shadow]

yea. I'm still torn as to how I'm gonna go. I know C# is the wave of the future but a lot of people are still using C+ and C++

[matt1912]

c# is the future so it just depends on how long its gonna take you to enter the business, obviously there is no point in learning c++ if they are gonna switch to c# by the time you start your career
