C++ magic is way more powerful than C# magic but it takes longer to cast and you can blow your own face off with it pretty easily.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

C(++) is a glorified assembler.
C# is a high level plug-in for a object based messaging subsystem.
Magic is just an illusion.

Not if you take the red pill

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I don't do pills but i was feeling saucy at the time so i took both of them. Now I'm stuck somewhere between the matrix and the real and i can hear laurence fishburne laughing at me.

When trying to summon demons using C++ be careful that you can actually control the demon.
I once tried it an promptly summoned Abaddon, his name meaning Doom, the Angel of Death, also known as Apollyon, the Destroyer, King of the Bottomless Pit, the Antichrist, by some believed to be the Devil himself.
To make a long story short, I tried the same using C# and summoned a locust.

I know who abbadon is, but he's mostly just angry. I prefer to summon the fun demons.

She may be getting on in years, but Lilith can party like nobody's business.
Abyzou gets a bad rap too, but she mostly just culls the stupid.

Well, she's really falling down on the job, lately!

When I summon C++, I get instant heartburn and upset stomach.
When I summon C#, I don't.
It really is that simple - for me, anyhow.
If you like the overly spicy food, and fire out the arse, stick with C++.

Hi everyone,
I should start by saying I am not a coder and know nothing about it. I currently work construction. I like my job, and I make a decent living, but construction can be "feast or famine," and layoffs are not uncommon.
Gig work would be an ideal way for me to supplement or replace my income during the slow times. A career in computer science could also be a good transition for me when my body will no longer tolerate the rigors of construction work.
For now though, as I stated above, I am mainly interested in setting myself up to be able to do gig work. Has anyone on here done any gig work? If so, I would love to hear your opinion on it.
I am considering going to school online to earn a degree in some type of computer science. Any opinions about which disciplines are best for the type of work I'm looking to do? Any recommendations for schools? Any I should stay away from? I was searching online, and am thinking [DELETED] may be a good option. Any opinions on that?
Thank you for reading this. I know I have a lot of questions, and I hope I posted this in the appropriate place. Any advice or opinions would be much appreciated!

I am not sure what "gig work" means, "contracting" maybe. However if you want to know what to learn then the best starting point is to look at what jobs are being advertised in your area. For web development C#, ASP.NET, SQL are probably most common. For mobiles Java and Android, or Swift and iOS. For desktop computing maybe C++ and Windows.

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, by gig work I meant contracting. On demand work that I can do at my convenience when my day job allows.
Thank you for the advice.

The problem you might have is customers (companies) want their dev work done ASAP. That is in my experience...

There are a number of websites (freelancer.com is one) where that sort of work is advertised. But you may find that clients think they can get a complete website built in an afternoon for less than $10.00.

I think you'll find out that these ideas don't go hand-in-hand with coding. If you want to be good enough at it for others to hand you work, you need to have plenty of dedication--not only learning, but keeping up to date...because this field moves a lot faster than construction.
