C# is the regular C (language)?

I just bought a book whose title is "C# Primer Plus"


Is this book just the "C" language


Because my friend told me to learn "C"

C# is the regular C (language)?
No C# is a business class programming language on .net framework which is visual and you can produce windows programs using it. C# is a good language for developing programs in a network or web applications and desktop application. C# syntax is somewhat like C++ but it has omitted some of the stuff from c++ and it added some new features. Its goal was to make easy developing programs and make it fast. In c++ you see most features that u will use in upcoming programs but some of them has been difficult and made a ot of errors. C is something simpler than C++ without a lot of features and is for structured programming it has no definition for object oriented programming.
Reply:C# would be based on C++ but it is a Microsoft .NET Framework language.
Reply:No, not even close. C# is more like Java. It runs off the .NET Framework. C is OLD school stuff. C++ is even newer than C, and C++ is old. The hot language today is either C# or Java. Do some research on "C# .NET and the CLR".
Reply:C# is an advanced version of C++ which is a object orientated version of C.


You need to read the book and see if it assumes you know 'C' and 'C++'.


Hope the source helps.
