With a few exceptions, C# is pretty much a direct ripoff of java.
namespace = package, using = import, etc.
I found it quite easy to learn coming from java hehe.
In the past I've programmed in C, C++, Smalltalk, Java, and most recently C#. That's not including scripting languages or Basic-like tools like Delphi/Power Builder. I'd have to say Smalltalk was by far my favorite language.

ohh smalltalk. where did you start your smalltalk programming. I havent seen to many books on the subject.

I like to stick with lightweight text editors that have profiles. Scite is a current favorite. Notepad+ isn't bad either. I usually won't bother with a heavy IDE unless there is a compelling reason, but when I do, it is mostly Eclipse in recent years.

I use the CRiSP editor at work. Mainly for a thermodynamic modeling program we use that is heavily based on FORTRAN.

I usually program RPG-III with my punch cards. :P
I actually went to school for programming back in 92. Crappy school. Old computers and old languages. I learned Cobal, RPG-III, Turbo Pascal and C on an old mainframe and some IBM XT's with 640k of RAM and text only monitors. That was back when 486's were out and windows was pretty common. When I got out of school, I became a driver for a plumbing and heating company. :P What a waste of money.
Now I just hack on Visual Basic 6. I haven't had time to make the jump to .NET and from what I have seen, I don't really have the time to. I mostly program for myself but I have written a couple of programs for work. If I showed some of you guys the code, I am sure you would laugh at me. But the programs work and my co-workers think I am a genius so...:)

That was a language I learned at my first job (Fedex) in the 90s. They brought in a trainer and everything. I can't remember what books I have on it, but I'll look. As a programmer, I've never been as productive in any other language. The syntax is SO simple and there aren't a million keywords or a bunch of 'special' types that aren't true objects (primitive int vs Integer class, etc). It's too bad it lost steam once Java came around.
You may want to check out C# as it's quite a bit easier than C++ for a new programmer (no memory to clean up, pointers, etc). There is even a free version of Visual Studio you can download. Or use Java which is entirely free. I don't miss C++ at all.
Oh, and I use Eclipse as my IDE, or Visual Studio if doing C# work.
