Can C# help me...?

| Hi ,
My company needs to become Microsoft Partner so it needs two of its employee
have MCP. so the company sponsor me for mcp examination.
Currently for MCP I am choosing MCAD exam in which I have to decide the
language.
There are two streams (1) VC++ on Windows platform (2) C# on .NET platform.
The exam is just for certification for the company but I am taking it as my
future carrier. I have to take the decision now , that will decide my
future. Becouse it will be used when i will switch the company. As I am JAVA
programmer (having one year exp in JAVA ), so switching from JAVA to C# is
very much easy than VC++. Here I would like to mention the my AIM and that
is : to get a god job in good organization (likeMicrosoft,oracle,IBM). I
think that it will be difficult to switch from here to there so I need some
middle steps,i mean switsh from here to some other and then from there to
final destination. This certification may help me switching from here to the
middle step.
Let me know which is better to learn in the current scenario (market) VC++
or C#.
I am new to the both and I have to choose one.
If I choose VC++ then I will go the system programming world and if choose
C# then i will move towords application development side.
I don't know about the future of C# and .NET, where VC++ has its own
established market and there are very few VC++ specialist in the IT
community than other language experts, and there is big difference in salary
of VC++ developer and others.
Although I wanted to move towards .NET but people insist me to go for VC++
as carrier. becosue they say that Final destination is attainable by that
only.Product development companies love to hire C/C++ programmer. With .NET
u can enter in service sector but not in core product dev companies.
I have another option to go for JAVA also but for company it is on least
priority as company needs MicroSoft Certification first.
Please tell me know suggestions soon.
Bye and regards,
Vijay

| As you said, it greatly depends on your career plans... If you want to work
on Solution Development area, then go for C#.
But I am giving you a clue about the outlook. .NET is the future of
Microsoft platform. New version of Windows (Windows Server 2003) which will
be released in 3 weeks, has got .NET frameworkas its core. Next version of
SQL Server code-named Yukon tightly integrates with .NET framework. You can
find the same level of integration in other products like Exchange,
SharePoint, Office, etc.
So I suggest going for .NET, unless you are going to write system
applications for previous OS or maintain legacy applications!
