So i am new and I am thinking of learning C++

What's the difference between C, C++, And C#?

I would answer this question, but I'm afraid I don't know enough about them. Wouldn't mind seeing what someone who does says though.

C was a language that was developed in 1972 by Bell Labs (I think it was them anway...) as a fast but powerful procedural programming language.
C++ was developed by Bjarn Stroustrop (sp?) as an object-oriented extension to the C language. It essentially uses the existing C syntax, but adds to it. Both are fairly complex languages to learn and use, emphasising speed and size, and giving the coder a larger role in deciding exactly how and what the program does (unlike VB for example - the programmer doesn't have much control over how the code is implemented)
C# was developed by Microsoft for their .NET platform - it's intended to be a combination of the best features of C++ and Java, resulting in a fast, powerful, yet relatively simple language. (see this page for more info on C# compared to C++ and Java).

C#w/ .NET Framework = Future.

Personally, I see LOP languages at the future.

LOP languages? What are they?
