just read a post a little higher: c++ is not that different from C. it's just a little more basic, + you have more access to systemsources in C. netwerkprogramming is easyer in C than in C++. but i think C++ is easyer to learn. though they resemble a lot. if you know one of the two, you'll have fun learning the other one.

i learnt c/c++ den when into java... java is not hard at all... its very easy... easier den c/c++... but c/c++ first... u gotta make sure u got some idea of those hard part in c/c++ thats are drop in java... or else going from java to c++ would be equally hard... cuz u dun noe anything abt those stuff... while u u have some idea of c/c++ den go into java is like learning abc...

agree C first before java. learning c makes java a little bit easier to learn, just like 1 2 3

I would reccomend learning java first to all those who are new to proramming. It is a realtively easy language to learn, yet it is still very powerful and easy to program complex applications.

My opinion is that if you have never programmed anything it is better to start with object oriented language.

I am not sure if it is easier to learn compared to procedural languages, but it is relatively easier to learn if you don't have the burden of thinking procedural pragramming.

See I am one of those who learnt procedural programming first. My first language was pasca and I learnt C (and actual algorithm designing) when I got into university. I am not aiming for a career in programming but I like to be able to do write own programs and as webdesigning is kinda hobby of mine (and who knows even a profession in the future) programming is useful to know. And of course I am required to know programming being on fourth year on my information technology studies.

As an idea I really like object oriented programming. Funny as it may sound, I don't really do it. I like the approach but it is kind of strange to me, because of the "burden" of procedural programming.

Don't get me wrong, I can program object oriented. As a projectwork in uni I (with a friend) programmed a simple game in C++ (totally OO, not "C with C++", although in beginning we were tempted) and java is familiar to me, although I haven't programmed much with it (I'm planning on taking some courses). But when I get the idea to do a small utility, the ideas of the code that sprungs into my mind are in procedural language. It really takes effort to start thinking it object oriented.


Object oriented programming was developed because it is thought to be more alike to human thining than procedural algorithms. This would support the claim that OO is actually easier to learn for average person than procedural is. But as you once get you mind to the track that is this "old fashioned" programming, it is really hard to shift lane and start thinking OO.

I thing that you should learn C first because it was really hard learning C after knowing Java. C is kinda like Java just with more advanced features. If you compare the codes to each other, you will see that they are similair to each other. (In stucture) Im still learning C but it seems like it would be easier learning it first. It can be confusing changing codes for the same concept.

One and Onely Robust, Flexible,Independent JAVA
I Preffer Java to be learned first.

I think C++ (Computer Programming I) because it is the basic for programming and Java (Object Oriented Programming) is the second computer course that I learn that require Computer Programming I first

C and Java easy. I think desirable to learn Pascal before C & Java and all will be ok. But really true that after C, all languages learning fasters and easy

I think C is first. Java is not easy because it has more functions. I can not remember all function of Java but C is easier.
After i'v learned C, i think i must learn another language but i'v not finished C and Java is my target!!
