Who can tel for the disadvantage for C#

Advantages
- Has a rich library, LINQ, etc.

Disadvantage:

Against Java,
- Not cross platform yet, mono doesn't even support most C# 4 constructs, while Java has a VM on almost all platforms.

Against C++/Native code
- You can't write device drivers and firmware using C#.

The main disadvantage I think is that it's proprietary and not open-source, hence you're tied to MS and their platforms. If you don't mind that, then it's a really good language mainly because it is used by Visual Studio, one of the easiest development platforms out there.

If you're a student its best to learn as many languages as possible while in school, including Java, Ruby, C# and as many frameworks as you can (.Net, Rails, J2EE) and only specialize once you get your first job.

C++, C# developer here. a little Java

syntax is very easy to learn it's easy to debug, esp given it's Visual Studio

but you have to have clear OOP understanding

[nullpointer]

C++ or Java is not a pre-requisites to learn C#....they're are just advantage..

Well, kelangan jd ni ug basic na understanding sa OOP.
Naa sad ni siyay mga sample codes online if ganahan ka mu-reference.

Advantages:
-For me, mas han-ay ni trabahoon kaysa sa java because of the ease of use sa visual studio.
-Being an OOP na language, mas paspas ang development nimu ani compared to C/C++
-Mas dali ni ipa-run sa windows ky dili na mn ka kelangan mag-install ug other stuff like runtime environments.

Disadvantages:
-Like mentioned in some posts above, dili ni sya cross-platform. And it doesn't have the same amount of support from the community compared sa java.

Con: None.
