Hi... I am new to programming and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what language I should learn first? Java or C++? which one is easier to learn? what is good for webpages ? Thanks...
 
hey, Ihave face the same problem frombefore,but believe once u have learned to use one of the 2 programming languages,then it is easy to go to another.
stat with C++,it is more spreadable, and uses worldwide.
for webpages,these languages are programming languages ,and not for building webpages, u need to learn javascript, html or php
hope that this helps
 
For webpages that are static, that is, don't move or change, you need to know HTML. If you want dynamic pages, then you need PHP or Javascript. Those three will allow you to do anything regarding the internet. Start with HTML first, as the others build upon HTML and you need to know HTML before using the other two.
C++ is mainly for creating .exe programs.

If you are soley looking for a programming language for the web, you should learn VB script javascript ( which is not the same as java) or php. But if you are looking for a ordinary programming language that can be used to create standalone applications and web applications use Java ( it allows you to create java applets).
Anyhow, as houssam said it does not really matter with which programming language you start since both mentioned languages ( c++ java) make use of the object oriented concept, learning one language will allow you to learn the second easily.
 
anyway, there are many tools that help u create simple web pages without wrtiting any code. about programming first u must think logically in any problem, just think that u r solving any problem in ur life, and the syntax is not a problem, mainly u will get more experience as u pratice more and participate inmany projects.
 
Well my advice is start with Java, that's what my univ starts with, and i think its the best way to understand programming.
 
i say start with c# so you can work with windows applications. it's a lot like c++. it's object oriented also which you can learn more once you get started. I'd say either way you should be off to a good start.
 
have u tried to start with assembly ;).
or with C, BASIC,... there are the basics for the PC,
they are simple
all in all, u must think logically for every problem.
 
it doesn't really matter which you learn from the option you gave, as long as you learn it well! Programming is only about 20% syntax anyway, the rest is just a mindset
 
u r right, logic is 85% from the final deliverable.
as u learn more then all the syntax is the same.
example: have u checked that the if else is the same in Java and C++/.
also others and otherss
