Re: C# and robots

On a purely theoretical level, yes. But why would you want to? It would be like hanging a picture with a sledgehammer... Overkill...

For the most part, C#, C+ and C++ are supersets containing C. While there are exceptions to any overly simplistic statement like that, you likely already know nearly everything you need to to program in C.

The same goes for Java. C is the grandfather computer language that spawned many others and is really quite simple. Review this tutorial exerpted from Kernighan & Ritchie's "The C Programming Language" and ignore all the references to interfacing with operating systems (like command line parameters, et cetera) and you will be fine.
