I'm starting to study about C++, but I don't know what to study first... :(

What's the difference between:

1.) C++

2.) Visual C++

3.) Managed C++

4.) C++ .NET

5.) C#

6.) Visual C#

C++ is the language.
VC++ is a compiler.
In C++.net you can write managed code and unmanaged code.
The unmanaged code is like old code, while managed code is code written for the .net platform.

C# and Visual C# are the same.
C# is a compleatly different language, but has similarities with maneged C++ code.

Managed C++ code is very messy, and therefor C# was invented. C# code is also compiled to the .net platform.

Ummmmm... one more, what is MFC? Is it a language, compiler, or what?

Try to look things up.

I took this from wikipedia

Microsoft Foundation Class Library (also Microsoft Foundation Classes, or MFC) is a Microsoft library that wraps portions of the Windows API in C++ classes, forming an application framework. Classes are defined for many of the handle-managed Windows objects and also for predefined windows and common controls.

study c++ and c for a couple years first. After that you will probably know which of the others (if any) you want to study.

First - C
Next - C++

couple of years!?!?!!?!?!!?...well, may be it depends on you and your learning speed...

and anyway, even if you study C++, you'll no doubt have to cover C first. I'm curious, are you choosing courses, or are you planning to self teach yourself?

Yes, it will take 2-3 years before you can write decent programs and work as a professional programmers. It will take around 5 years to become a good programmer.
