Hello.

My name is Allen. I was a poster on the Asp.Net forums for a while, but I just got a new job doing primarily WinForms programming so I decided to look for a good C# forum. Well, they all pretty much sucked and I'm glad I finally found this one because I was losing hope. C# and C++ are my passion, but I can also program in Java, Vb.Net, and Vb6.

At my new job I will be using C# for the most part with some side projects including C++ and Java. At home my hobby is trying to make games with C++ (I'm a newb at making games). So I'm just trying to learn as much as I can right now.

Welcome aboard. Since you seem to have more experience with C# than C++ (since you use it for work), you might consider trying to write games using that. It might not be quite as fast as using native code in C++, but it's a lot easier (especially the managed DirectX vs the unmanaged version). Unless you're trying to write first-person shooters or something, it's probably plenty fast enough for your needs.

I've thought about writing games in C#, but decided to focus on using C++ because I'm not that great at unmanaged code, so I thought I could kill two birds in one stone by learning how to program in C++ better and learning how to make a video games at the same time. Learning C++ this way has been a adventure to say the least..
