As far as I know it's C# with a new sort of library. C# isn't that hard but it's more like Visual Basic and Javascript than C++. Everything in C# has properties, just like Javascript.

form1.listbox1.etc.etc = "whatever";

Don't remember C++ does that. But it does have namespaces and classes etc. just like C++.

The coolest thing about XNA is.... Besides PC games it can be used to create Xbox 360 games for Xbox Live Arcade. And if you have a game ready and publish it to Xbox Live than you can get money for it. You just need to pay a $100 license fee a year.

C# is more comparable to Java as a programming language then Javascript or VB. It lets you do all the bad things that C++ lets you do but makes them harder to do.

I've never done Java so I don't know. All I know is that with C# you have the endles form.listbox1.etc.etc.etc.etc which just works on my nerves. For school I did a project in C# and i must say it's very easy and it allows you to develop very fast.

Ehm, C# doesn't let you do all the bad things that C++ allows you to do. That's one of the reason's the invented C#.

That means XNA isn't new anymore. :p
Never used it since it came out after I graduated.

O.O It's a pretty good language with massive support (well, I wouldn't go as far as to say 'massive'). >P
