C++ vs. Java

..................................

 

I think C++ is easier to learn than java/

 

Maybe we should have a poll on this to see what is the general thought on both.

 

thanks for the advice akula, i got the book..i also picked up SAMS Learn C++ in 24 Hours...has anyone had positive or negative experiences with that resource?

 

To learn Programming:
1. Learn how to program, not learn a particular language.
2. Learn to think, brainstorm...
3. Learn technology like OOP technique (start with Smalltalk), Functional Programming (LISP), Logic Programming(Prolog). Then self-study all others language.

 

Did you skip reading the original post?

 

Java is better

 

yeah im finding Java to be the easier language so far but im excited about C++s potential as well..Akula the book was great thanks

 

java is best

c++ DEAD ONLY LEFT FOR BASIC LEARNING

 

I strongly suggest the .NET Framework. You can learn any of the languages of the .NET, but you'll probably want to stick to C# because of the syntax that is similar to C++.
By learning C# you'll be able to develop ASP.NET websites and Windows applications. C# and ASP.NET developers are also paid better than most of the other programmers.

Google, by the way, uses C# along with other technologies.

 

I'm standing for c++
Java just too expensive, i mean it need more resources, of course with simple apps this is no problem but creating more complex code everytime c++ is better solution, although it is a little too complex sometimes

 

Java is easier to learn and multi-platform
C++ is more powerful

I chose C++ for college personally

 

More programs use C+ anyways. What makes Java better I would like to know?

 

its C++..., and so far Java has been easier for me to program in

 

IMHO, C# is something like Visual Basic where u just drag and drop to design interface, and a lil bit of coding to make the buttons, texts are working while C++ is a programming language the needs much much coding.

The other, C# comes with integrated interface while C++ not. You need other tools to design c++ interface.

that my humble opinion after 3++ years in programming.

 

Currently the AP courses offered in the us are java. They switched over to java about 4 years ago?
BTW: C++ use to be the better, but in recent years java has past all of its "flaws".

 

When I went to school, we were taught C, C++ to start, but soon classes went to Java, especially to learn some OOP concepts.

 

It's not like that.
C# has the advantage of the .NET Framework that makes things easier for the coder, however the syntax is very much like C++. Dragging buttons and other elements onto the form is the same convenience that you can have with C++, but the rest is coding as usual. You don't necessarily have to use Visual Studio .NET to compile C# applications, just like you don't have to use Visual Studio to compile C++ applications.
The convinience with C# is that you have the framework which provides you a set of useful classes, but I wouldn't compare that with VB.

VB.NET is the one that has a syntax that's similar to VB, and it's a good choice for programmers coming from a VB background.

 

i think c# has an easier syntax too..i heard that the for loops are different than what is used in java and c++..more straight forward

 

for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
// So it's the same thing
}
