Thumbs up C Sharp Over C++ For Me...For You " " ?

Morales:
I too, would go with C# over C++. Learning and coding with C++ can be like wading through a dense forest; it is legendary for having extra characters to mess up the syntax( that's no offense to people that love working with C++...I too love C++, but choose not to program with it )...for example in managed C++, to declare a class:

public _gc MyClass :: BaseClass

..like what the heck is that "_gc" thingy for?

If you are thinking about learning more about OOP, and thinking about C# which is a lot cleaner in it's syntax ( not unlike Java ), I would recommend looking at one of those "Learn C# in 24 Hours" types of books. Or perhaps, since you know some PHP and are familiar with web programming, check into using ASP.NET book - programming with C#, which may allow you to leverage your existing experience.

...PHP, Perl, Python, C#, C++...I am sure you will find the one that suits you the most, as I think it's more about that than which is better than which. I think they are all cool actually.
