Programming language
Hello everyone, I have a question. I want to build my future with programming. So I am interested if there is a big difference if I would be learning different language and then switch for ant another programming language.For example.: now I would be learning JAVA for my personal expierence. And later if I get a job like c++ programmer, would I have to learn many things different , or the expirience from JAVA that i got would help me.

Re: Programming language
Java is simplified C++ with some additions of its own (namely the large codebase, in C++ if you don't use some 3rd party libs you are somewhat limited and have to write lots of code from scratch (and by that I mean the utility stuff, the common code that you use in almost every program)).
If you start with Java and switch to C++ later, you'll have to learn lots of stuff, but if you switch from C++ to Java you'll have to throw away some habits and simply adapt to Java syntax and learn some small (ok, sometimes not so small) differences.
Also, in this summer, C++0x is planned for release, that stuff is said to be REALLY good, so IMHO learning C++ beforehand would be a good choice.

If you have problems, FIRST TRY SOLVING THEM YOURSELF, and if you get errors, TRY TO ANALYZE THEM, and ONLY if you can't help it, THEN ask here.
Otherwise you will never learn anything if all you do is copy-paste!

Re: Programming language
Thank you for taking your time and answering my question. I think for now I will try to understand java programming by creating l2jservers cauze it's somehow fun. I am at school learning pascal and got almost trought all learning program only 1 thing left. And I think I will try to get bit more into pascal until summer. Then when summer comes as you said the new C++X0 release comes I will try to learn c++ in my free time.
