i'd suggest starting with c++ seeing that IT IS more useful (take that rizzix
), but it doesnt really matter, cuz the syntax of the two are the same.. we have a great c++ and java forum on this site, and we'd be more than glad to help you out.Computer Science Canada Help with Self-teaching methods |

Hi guys, I'm looking at learning a more advanced language. I'm a high school student who currently uses Turing...and I'm looking at Java or C++. I'm open to any suggestions on languages to learn, books to use, web tutorials, whatever you guys think is the best way to learn by myself. Thanks! |

Neither. Both place too much overhead on learning. Try something like Ruby. Especially with "irb" you can learn very quickly, and rapidly work your way up to advanced techniques. |

I advice Ruby. IRB is amazing for learning. |
