General Software Discussion / Re: Need ur advice! Which language to learn.

It's not Visual "BASIC"  -- that's a language, it's visual STUDIO.

I'm not an expert in this but some quick replies:

Unlike other Microsoft specific languages like "Visual Basic", I believe these days there is really just C# and I don't think people talk about "visual" C# much these days, and there is no reason you need to think about it like that.  The language is just C#.

Now Visual Studio is a fine IDE editor and development environment for C# coding but there are others that may be less overwheleming.  I certainly find Visual Studio intimidating though I do use it sometimes.
You mention Visual Studio 2017.. I believe the current free one is 2019, and I'm not sure if there would be any reason not to use that.

The one thing to keep in mind perhaps is that C# is essentially cross platform now, so that you can code on windows but use on mac/linux, except that there are some libraries and tools that are only available on windows.  When considering what tools and libraries to use, I would suggest favoring those that are cross platform compatible.

There are definitely tools and libraries for writing C# code that can be easily translated to different languages.

Quick answer from a C++ coder.
Given your desire to focus on GUI stuff, I think C# would be a better choice than C++.

C++ is great for people who need to squeeze out maximum speed, but really wasn't designed for GUI stuff, and it shows.
C# has more modern elements and is much more friendly to GUI development.

I came to the conclusion a while ago that giveaways and things are just not fun for me to organize and deal with.. and as for my youtube channel, im just playing boardgames that I enjoy, I don't want to film stuff just to get viewers.  I got in line for the stream desk on the chance that there might be some non-game use for the hardware at some point, or some vr gaming developments.

If I decide not to go through with my purchase, I assume there is no way for me to give my position in line to someone else?

Yeah it's due to missing that you need to install my shared adobe extension helper library available on same github download page. I've added more clear instructions about that.

Does anyone have a thought about whether I should follow through and buy this stream deck if I don't care about gaming? My initial thought was that it was just such a cool piece of hardware that I might do some fun coding for it (possibly coding games), or doing some custom electronics hacking, etc.  But I haven't really given it much thought.

I don't know if anyone has experienced any errors printing, but I discovered that my new color laser occasionally gets mad that Screenshot Captor is not setting a title for print jobs.
I'll upload a new version this week with a bugfix.
