one advantage of learning C# is that you'll very easily be able to pick up quite a few other commonly used languages with almost no learning curve, as it is syntactically similar to many others (C, C++, Java...) |

Thanks for the advice guys, I've had a look on the web at it appears most people favor c# when working with sql server. Plus quite a few aspects seem similar to SQL so I'm going to invetigate that route further.Visual C# express is downloading as we speak. Does anyone have any decent website with tutorials which they can recommend? |
