Hi Louis, This is is of course purely optional, but yeah that is how I would do it. C++ is a great language, especially for games, but it is also the most complex. Most of the time you'd probably want to use a rapid development language such as C# .NET or VB .NET for day to day applications such as text editors, mp3 players, checkbook software, whatever. The main reason behind this reasoning is with a lot of applications performance isn't a big issue, and the .NET Framework is a very good development API which can be used to put together some pretty big applications in a fraction of the time it would take to do it in C++. You have so many ready made classes for just about anything you can think of. Most companies today are looking for .NET developers for this exact reason. You can put together an interface for a large database, create some specialized accounting software, create a report writer, in a fairly short amount of time compared to C++. So in the development industry for Windows we are seeing a large move to .NET for general application development in the business world.
