Learning C#
I have been tooling around with C# and I am loving it. In high school I took C++ and we used Borland with special libraries that were basically crap. So some of what I learned is very wrong and I can use very little of it. One thing it did teach me is control structures and variables and so on. That knowledge has helped me to learn PHP as quickly as I did and what looks like a quick study in C# too. C# seems to have the same structuring and usage as C++, but that ease of programming that Visual Basic was known for. Knowing only how to do only a few things in VS I was able to create a Windows application that used a slider to adjust the opacity of the application and you were able to open a file and calculate the MD5 hash of that file. Very basic, but something for a project I was working on.
One question I do have is, will all programs I create use a lot of memory? Is it all of the C# base classes in the application or what? This application was about 40kb and it used 14mb physical and 13mb virtual, seems a bit high for such a small application.
