Should i start learn Java first or C++ ? and how many weeks it take to complete it?

I'm learing c++ right now in programming class. I like it but i don't know much about java.

Should i start learn Java first or C++ ? and how many weeks it take to complete it?
Well, they are both object oriented programming languages, so... it doesn't matter which one is first.


I never learned C++, but at my school they chose JAVA as their main language to teach us.





if you're gonna learn both, i don't think it matters.
Reply:Depends. If you are confident enough with programming, start with C++. It's surely harder but if you are good at it, you wont find any problem with Java. But what sometimes I find C++ just too complicated. On the other hand Java is nice, simple and has freaken awesome OOP model. If you really start with java, you should focus on design pattern rather than programming. Frankly, programming in java is just the matter of using API. The actual thing to learn when programming in Java is to have a good OO model. Once you good with it, start using learn some of Java Technology e.g Java EE (which might probably take you another good few months to pick the right framework and model). Anyway I'm a Java Fanboi :P
Reply:Well, C++ first or Java First, it dosen't matter, because both are OOP (object oriented programming) the concepts are a lot similar. Well, their syntax might differ a bit though but the business logic you put and the way you handle the object is all the same ... If I were you , I would go with Java because you code less to implement the same in C++, and C++ still deals with pointer, Java dosen't... so, its cool
