HI FOLKS,
I ALREADY HAVE A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF C (POINTERS,DATA STRUCTURES,LINUX PROGRAMMING AND UNIX NETWORK PROGRAMMING) AND C++..I FELT IT WAS TIME THAT I TRIED A NEW LANGUAGE..BUT I AM IN DOUBT WHETHER TO START WITH JAVA OR VC++..I KNOW JAVA IS PLATFORM INDEPENDENT AND THAT IT IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE NET..BUT WILL IT BE REPLACED BY C#..FURTHER IF I GO TO STUDY VC++,THOUGH APPEALING, I WILL BE STUCK UP WITH ONE PLATFORM,WINDOWS..
I COULD SURE USE A FEW TIPS AND GUIDANCE FROM EVERYONE HERE..

WITH REGARDS
SCORPION
