Yes, C# is pronounced "See" (C) "Sharp" (#) as in the musical note. I advocate C++ as a starting language to get a good understanding of programming and how programs work. But once you have a good handle on that, if you're thinking of doing lots of GUI programs or database work, web work or anything really enterprising, then move on to C# for speed of development. The reason I say this is that writing windows applications in C++ don't take long, but take much longer than if you use C#. An example I love to give is a challenge. See how long it takes you to write a notepad style program in C++ and then in C#. C++ will take you about a few days with a few pages of code. C# will take you a few hours and about a page of code...
