It isn't difficult at all. In fact, I'd say it's incredibly easy. I'm in my first year of my university's Game Development and Entrepreneurship program, and my Programming course is using C# (basically an updated version of C++) and it uses very simple syntax even for the most complex tasks.

It's funny they keep teaching people C# even though most studios don't use it.

And for the record-- I hate Java. I don't know why but I just suck at it.

I'm also quite surprised that they'd teach C# in a games programming oriented course. Then again, I don't really see the point of such specific education programmes. If someone really has a knack for developing games, a typical CS/computer engineering course should give them all (and more) they need to do it.

I'd say that it's also good to be in a more general course, since you never know whether you'll get the career you want or not.
