Should I learn C before Java ?
Why not both at the same time?
"Tony Polson" wrote in message ups.com... Hi. Should I jump right into Java, or is it better to learn C first? I'm not a total beginner; I know Javascript, but I obviously would like to learn a more powerful language. Thanks, TP |

Yes,
I agree too that you should go straight to Java as although the syntax is essentially the same C is a bit of a pain and I noticed that from just scrathing the surface of it Cheers Johnny "Tony Polson" wrote in message ups.com...

Java has the C-like syntax, but the syntax is the least problem. Believe me, I hardly got used on OOP after few years in Visual Basic programming. Start Java with "Beginning Java 2" (Horton), "Thinking in Java" (Eckel) and "The Java Tutorial" (Sun's website). |

Thanks, TP I'd go with Java first. Java was not out when I got into this business, so I did C, C++, Smalltalk, REXX and the like. C++ and Smalltalk helped me understand Objects. If you begin with C you are going to get a wakeup call once you start with Java, because you would be unfamiliar with object technology. OO is about half of mastering Java, IMHO. |
