JAVA or C (C++) ???

[sana07]

which one do you prefer??

as for me, JAVA.. :D though, im still working on my java skills, unlike my c skills.. well anyways, i like java because it's like a cleaner and more convenient version of c! :D

[Max Magnus]

I like Java, especially since it can turn into a good web language via JSP, but I do love my C# xD

[IndI311]

cant tell..
..but i really love writing in C++
...dunno why..
..but i like it..
.
..though i want to get better with java as well
...and some other languages

[darkpoetry]

JAVA is starting to become more and more in demand in the software engineering field
My university requires us to use only JAVA for all our software classes

[takasuryuuji]

for me its JAVA...
user friendly...

[Kobowo]

c++ since I got used to c :)) I dont know java though

[mrcdeath]

Hmm java is easier to play with but as far as i'm concerned C/C++ is superior, but that was long ago when i used them, i dont know how much any of them evolved recently.

[Kobowo]

dunno how much but if I remember correctly you use C# (which came from C) in some game engine programming >.< and if I remember correctly some scripts in those game engines use c? I'm not sure...

[AJjudez]

for me its JAVA because its endemand and its more neat and cleaner it looks.....

[DoubleZeta]

Java can be used not just for PC applications, it is also cross platform, can be used for cellphone apps and you friggin don't need add ons to use STRING VARIABLES!

[jailmon123]

for me , Java Language... :D
though C language and Java Language has similarities... :)

[kenchin]

Java is not cleaner than C/C++, Java is an interpreted language where as C/C++ is native. Each has its benefits however.

[ayahirashi]

Java

Friendly user also..

[slayerone]

off topic!!!!!!!
me PHP! hehe

java n php cant be seprated. i huv developed many (many? ehehehe ~lalalala) web n system using php and each of my program used javascript
so java is better..
useful to handle a form n to calculate n etc...
ehhehehe

[inubazh11]

I can do everything in c++, thoug I heard even though java is more complex, it's better

[Kobowo]

java is more complex
Nope C++ is more complex....I've started learning java and actually I found it easier to understand...and its actually easier on some parts than C++ or even C#....well I still prefer c++ because I got used to declaring variables there...

[Bloody Envy]

im used to using c++ its fun..

[kingdranix]

I learned C++ first and then Java. I find Java to be limited as I can't use pointers like in C++. Also, I feel comfortable to have my functions in a separate header files.

[avich]

Master C, most languages are derived from it. Once you're good at C, it's quite easy to transition into a different language.

[Kurten]

Java, simply love it :]

[menisa06]

ahhhmmmm..........

Mostly we use Java in programming that C++.... so I choose Java that C++

(*the fact is Java derives from C++*~syntax) thanks to Bjarne Stroustrup

XD hehehehe

[coldfire01]

C++ here
I studied Pascal (predecessor language) ^___^

I wanna study either linux or Java.

Off topic:
Anyone studyin Maya?

[venabre]

I don't understand a thing of any of those two, but there was a math competition I once went to and everyone got sorted among four clasess: A, B, C... and C++ XD

[Lilmon]

Mostly, I use Java...XD

[Kobowo]

C++ here
Off topic:
Anyone studyin Maya?

I think next term its either I learn maya or 3ds max....so its a maybe for now :)) currently self-studying blender3d though....

[KhenLee202]

definitely java!
cuz i like it
its user firendly
and i have gotten used to it

[Deragons]

C++, Java is a cinch to learn since OOP and predefined data structures make it easy to use.

However, it depends on what you want to write. Scripts and apps are easily written with Java. However you'll find that some of the biggest companies don't care for Java as much as they care for C/C++ knowledge. If you have strong C/C++ skills, you will find a job very quickly in the computing and microelectronics industry!

[88ayanami]

my first programming language is C but I enjoy Java because I can use it in many things ^^

[silentcry07]

for me i would choose java..
because most of the time the employer is searching for a java prog.

but i would prepare java, because that's one of my PL specialty.

[Mystical]

Definitely Java! its cross-platform and easy to understand! (I also like C# :P)

[xinimic]

i used both c and c++ alot so i'm more proficient at them compared to java

[Okumura Rin]

I never liked C Language. And I had fun studying Java. But among the Programming Languages I know, Assembly Language is my favorite. It's complicated that's why I like it.

[mokochan013]

hmmmm i really get and understand C++ faster its easier to use in my case :D
but java i think is more how should i say it hmm modern looking and complex although i havent mastered any of it yet but i hope to get it both bec its the two major subjects in my course :D
programming is really fun :D

[lumache]

imo, Java is quite horrible as a language, but because of the fact that everyone uses it makes it versatile, even though its object oriented-ness made it a huge entangled mess....
C/C++ is damn fast. Otherwise it's not user friendly at all, being a lower-level language. It's only step higher than assembly. But neither is Java friendlier. The syntax of the BufferedReader is just hurr (go Python!!)

[0drea7]

i think java is the simplified and more user friendly version of turbo c++...if you have no problems with c for sure you'll have java as a piece of cake... thou i like c++ more coz it's the first language that made me think that in programming everything is possible and it had given me thrills to know the codes and its uses... :) hmmm now it made me think back on how i enjoyed that prog language before hope i still remember all the codes...nyahahaha.. :D

[UrzuZero]

Im a Game Programmer so C++, I like Java and its ok but Im more experienced in C++ because its used more around in my work.

[Reizero]

I like JAVA but i think you do a lot more with C++
+ C++ is a cool name x)

[yasatsuna]

I say C++

It's harder to tell in java when you commit code mistake.. but there is this netbeans now..

But I still go for C since I find it comfortable to program games there :)

[Dodex]

Surprised C# isn't an option here lol I spent a year on work placement with Java, I can honestly say I missed C# so much lol

When I went back to uni tho... guess what they made me do... more java -_- Java is very similar to C# though, it's just little things..

Well the upside of using java is that you can make android apps using it, the only other skills you might want are in xml

@yasatsuna
For java, Eclipse is the way to go.

P.S. Eclipse has an android plugin
