I'd say learn java first because it's more fun; making cool stuff like windows and GUIs is easier.





Personally I learned C++ first (terminal only, then I went to Java). Both are very similar so if you learn one you won't have problems learning the other.
Reply:Learning a language isn't learning programming. Learn programming first (Wirth's "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" is a good place to start), then start learning languages.
Reply:Its really a choice between Bad and Worse if you're a new programmer. I would recommend starting with something like Python. But if you absolutely must pick between the two, Java is a much better choice. C++ is a very difficult and bad language for a huge number of reasons.
Reply:id learn something easy like PHP first before going to that stuff. well im a web designer so of course im going to say that, so if i have to choose 1 out of those 2 id definetly choose c++
Reply:What makes C++ interesting is because of its complexity and attention to details which you will not find with other languages like Java. If all programming languages are no sweat then do you think being a programmer is still a worthy job? Besides, if you learn C++ you will be surprised how easily you can learn Java since it was derived from it.
Reply:It really depends on what you plan on programming. Java is generally used more for web based applications. C++ is generally used more for stand-alone applications.
Reply:Both will help you learn object oriented programming, it really is the standard type of languages. Once you learn the concepts of object oriented programming, it'll be easy to pick up other object oriented languages.
