Is there any arguments for Java over C? I guess it really doesn't matter.. I've begun programming in C and I'm addicted... I love this I think it's the most interesting thing I've ever done... I wish I had a book or something cause there is SO SO much to learn about every header file and all the functions they include... anyhow C rocks and I'll be sticking with it for awhile. I am wondering if I shouldn't just go with C++... is there any reason I should stick with C?

Learn both :D
Don't decide on which one to do, do them all. Learn C then C++ then Java then whatever interest's you.

Here SevenBleach check this site out great resource for any programmer .. from beginner,intermediate, to experienced ...
http://www.programmersheaven.com/
As for me I have been slowly trying to learn C++ which of course takes a great amount of time to learn it well and properly just like any other language does. I would also recommend that you at least dedicate 1-2 hrs a day to reading and practicing the language that you want to learn.
Example 1st Hour : Read, Highlight Key Info, Memorize, Practice with the language of your liking ... [ex:C/C++,C#,Ruby,Python,Java,Assembler,VB,Delphi,BASIC,Pascal,PERL,VB.NET etc ..]
The second hour dedicate it to reading, learning one of the many Operating Systems available such as [ex:Linux ( Debian,Mandrake,SuSe,Slackware ... ),Windows ( 2000,NT,2003,XP),FreeBSD,Plan 9, MAC OS, Solaris etc ..]
Check out this site as well contains some good info that you might also find useful

Note: I dont recommend on learning Assembler as your first programming language since it can be really hard to grasp it ... unless if you have an infinite amount of patience .. this language can be at times quite frustating to learn and understand ... but it is a very powerful language ...

hey SevenBleach,
Thanx for the link, and will look forward for more resources.
:)

A good language to start off with is PERL or Python or C++. All have fairly intuitive programming structures and are fairly easy to learn. There are lots of tutorials out there. I had a few bookmarked but they've disappeared on me, give me a day and I can find em again.

thank you to the person who first posted this thread, it has been a great help, especially providing the web address for the C# for beginners site and reading everyone elses advice

Even if it's pedagogic and little bit in disparation way langague (Sorry For the Pascalmanias), Pascal is the simply way to learn how to write program. When you're feeling ok with it use Delphi For the GUI. its not only a Pascal GUI version but it's the most powerful GUI Windows based program language AFAIK. Good Luck.

I first learned C and then C++, now Im even taking a programming languages class and I can none of the languages weve been touching have been hard for me to undersant, so I guess what I recomend is getting a good C++ base because it worked for me jeje.

My first language was Pascal. It has a good syntax and pretty straighforward. If you want to develop applications in windows, you can use Delphi. Its good. Anyway, learning C is a little hard but it pays off at the end. You would understand more about programming and make you a better programmer in the sense that you will be more careful with what you are doing.
