I'm getting lost in all these programming languages. I was wondering what is better Delphi or C++? and how different is Delphi form the other coding languages?

I would go with Delphi..and that is an evil, evil flash signature you have.

Its a negative for Visual Basic.

out of Delphi or C++, i reckon its just whatever you like.
i've never seen any programs (that i know of ) or any source code for Delphi. but  C++ seems like the way everyone is going these days.

lol 16 bit Assembly () is the way to go tho

Ardv4rk I don't have a flash signature.


Thanks Ash.

Ash_, you're right in thinking that C++ is very popular. In fact, it has been more or less since it was invented back in the 70s.
As for how good it is compared to Delphi, well that's just personal choice.

I may be the odd one out, but I found VB was a good language to pick up quickly and understand the way programming works, even if you don't use it that much, it's a good way to understand all the terms quickly...

yeh ok, it might be good for a few features. but creating windows is way to easy when converting to another language people will definately not understand about Registering Classes and such.

also people will need to learn how to take the long way round for most things when converting rather than in vb (right click -> add -> form or whatever)

another example is creating and saving files.

VB

code:

---

open "C:/blah.txt" for output as 1
Print #1, "sick"
'or
"Write #1, "im n00bie"
Close #1

---

VB is a good language to learn how everything works, to learn basic API calls. I think everyone disses it because it's too easy for the things you can actually do with it.
c++ is VB, but expanded and with more liberty.

i have never used delphi.

im a vb programmer and learning c++

and ive got to admit vb seems the easy way out

with c++ your have to do the right caps etc...

vb

code:

---

Msgbox "Messengerbox text", "Message box Title"

---

code:

---

MessageBox ("Message Box Text, "Message Box Title", 0)

---

hmmm... I started at learning Qbasic( )I think its best if u want to get kind of familiar with programming, your should start off with Qbasic--->Visual Basic---->C and C++ or Delphi.  but I think C++ is a better language, its wat windows is programmed in, maybe try learning C Sharp.

Yes Vb is a cheap easy way but C++ can do alot more than VB.  Like cookie said it depends on what you are comfortable with,  lots of people are comfortable with VB b/c its easy. (costs lots of money), and lots of a experts are comfortable with C++ because you can do more things with it.  but still VB is stilla a good programming language...(can be dodgy sometimes, but still a good language. 

Home with info helps in n e way.

Hi,

Visual Basic is poor =)) but very easy, the C/C++ is a very good language but the best of all language is Win32 Assembly with MASM =)

With the Macro it isn't very difficult http://www.masm32.com/

I must agree with all the above: VB is great for the absolute beginner. But, before too long, you crave some real power, which is when you switch to C-family languages like C++ and Java, or others like Delphi.
For the sadisticelitist among you, ASM is the way to go.
