<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><BR>Hi Andrew<BR><BR>They are both very different
languages.<BR><BR>The similarities are that they are both object oriented
programming languages and share much of the same syntax, however, in my
opinion C# is much closer to JAVA compared with C++. C++ is an older
programming language whereas C# is fairly recent with some enhanced functions
and libraries. Both are good languages to teach and it really depends on
your students, if they have programmed before they will probably want to learn
C++ as they might have current knowledge or have heard about it on the
internet. If they have not programmed before I would use C# as the
syntax is considerably neater than C++ and possibly easier for the students to
learn. I think your best bet is to put it to a vote then no one can
complain to you.<BR><BR>Also - Make sure you can actually teach C# because
when I wanted to teach it last year they told me that I was not allowed
because it was not in the list of appr! oved languages.<BR><BR>-jack
