Hey guys.
About a year ago, I started picking up C#. I made it through around 100 pages and eventually just kinda stopped (I was busy with other things at the time). A few months ago, I reread the other pages and then read another 100 and I'm now I'm quite bored (though thats to be expected).
I'm nervous that I might have picked the wrong language, it seems as though people don't generally use C#. Most threads on here are either C++ or LISP, why is that? C# is the first programming language I've ever attempted, and I don't want all this reading to go to waste if I'm to read hundreds of pages on a language I'm not going to use. So I have to ask, is C# + XNA worth it? I'm a total beginner and maybe it'd help me grasp concepts I can use to learn harder languages. Should I just pursue a different language? I'm trying to develop games (I've been doing 3D modeling/animation for a WHILE) and from what I understand, LISP is PS3 only while C++ is XBOX.
What do?
