Java or C++?

I have no experience of these two languages, but i have heard that C++ is easier and has more freedom.

ok, I think i'll lern C++ (1st anyway) sometime I may lern some more....

I think C++ would be the best to start learning first. Dont start out doing some kind of OOP C++ though I would first use GNU which is a Linux based compiler.

Who are your sources? :P

id say c++... its a bit more advanced i think than java, and its not as limited in how you can use it. It would probabably be more usefull in learning other things that Javq owould be

there's no such thing as a hard language to learn. if you want then you could make learning BASIC hard and if you want then assembly can be easy. it all depends on your dedication towards it.

my choice is c++, you can then go into deep OS programing, Unix was i think made in C/C++, correct me if i'm wrong.

I'd have to go for C++ but Java is not without it charms

i would go with python
its very easy, and has OOP capabilities and borrows syntax from C / C++

you can literally learn the basics of the language in a sunday afternoon
check out www.python.org

just toy with it for a week and move to C++ or java (i think im gonna learn C after i finish with python)

There's only one way to settle this debate...learn both ;).

Java is a lot more easier than c++.But its usually not used for programming purposesrather for web applications.If u r amining for programming then go for c++.A bit of C would help u in this task.
