Believe me, if you can't believe in yourself!
As Livium I also did (and continue) do make programs, and I completely agree with every single word he said (although I didn't use C++ C# but Fortran and LISP). My advises (just to comply Livium's) are:
- Use modern compilers (versions) if you are not limited to old computers and OS (i.e. do you need MS-DOS applications, or simple and small footprint Win32 apps to be used on old PCs with not enough RAM etc? If not - go with .Net and the latest versions of Microsoft compilers - they will continue to develop, and you can program many years, just upgrading).
- Use a development environment that gives you easy debugging and dialog cration, as the more complicated the user interface becomes the more diffcult becomes for a single person to keep track and manage all the small parts of the whole program. That is why I like VB since it appeared (oh, how old I am !)
- Use a programming language that has many additional libraries, components, etc. that you can include in your own program as ready-made building blocks.
