i know this might not be the right place to put this but oh well. i have some books on programing in C++ and since im skiping the class at my school for it and going straight from vb2005 to java. i've been hoping to find a program to practice C++ at home on my own. is there anywhere on the internet that i might find a good program to practice in?
 
If you are looking for an IDE, Dev C++ is decent. http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

I would probably reccomend version 4, but the version 5 beta is ok (actually it's version 4.9.9.5 or something). They haven't done any work on it that I've seen for a few years so 4 is probably the last real version you'll see.

What do you mean by "program to prace in"? Are you talkin about an Intigrated Development Enviroment or a text editor? For an IDE I would recomend Eclipse with the C++ plugin. Eclipse has more features than Dev C++.

As for doing C++ then Java, you could skip C++ and just start reading about Java. They are the same for procedural elemets, however, the data type are different. They are also similar in OOP but java takes differnt aproches.

I don't recommend learning Java as a first language. What does the book say to use as an IDE? They normally recommend something.
 
Java runs on the Java VM. In programming in Java, a lot of essential programming skills are left out. Some low-level memory access and pointers just aren't an issue. Sure, this is great because it makes it easy, but it breeds complacent programmers. But I don't want to get into a language war. I like Java, I use it all the time.
 
i already have visual basic and the only reason id be going straight into java from there is because ill be a senior next year so its either next year or dont take it
