Hey - my coding years ended back in the late 80's. Mainframe assembler, basic & COBOL days. MS C was king v5.1. I have also coded for UPS back when and changed their coding METHODS forever - just lucky I guess. My code was easy to read - NEVER needed comments to what was what. Sort of like the Visual Studio stuff most people work with today.

If anyone knows what this means: g=c800:5, you are from my generation and did tech work. I built PCs back when and still enjoy a good water cooled rig. Now I have a Dell Xeon workstation.

Many of you have done lots of coding with new stuff. My last taste of coding was with Visual Basic 6 and Visual C 6 MANY MOONS AGO.

I figure if I am going to do this - I need to decide what language to pursue. Not so much for simplicity but more for my target project.

My TARGET project, and some have done similar commercial apps but need more for my idea, is a overall PC security app. Reading allot and it feels like I still have the training wheels on this - the deep end of the pool is crazy deep.

MY QUESTION: I have VS 2019 and started looking hard at some projects since I retired. C# looks reasonable, C++ is probably more what I need - VB has some pros and cons too.

SUGGESTIONS what language to focus on? Where I can get some good "common sense" coding examples?

Thanks!
