score for cpp!
C# is a fantastic language. the great thing about Microsoft is they provide a lot of developer tools this just work. I have the privilege of owning a copy of Visual Studio 2005 and it makes working with C# a breeze.
C# works wonderfully because Microsoft has gone the "don't reinvent the wheel" route. this allows us to develop powerful applications quicker, with no fussing with complex GUI code.
this said, I think you should learn C++ before C#. the wheel may have been invented already, but it is important to know how and why it works. Knowing where you came from is just as important as knowing where you are going.
Lastly, in forgetting in a language you should never aim to master it. Start off with the basics, see what you can do with those, and then dig a little further. if you think you understand how programming works, move on to C#.
