C++ vs Java
hi, hoping this is not out of topic... i program in c++ and i'd like to improve it, but i'd be interested in java too... I'm sure many here have experience on both... i hear there'e lots of common things, but i guess java is still considered THE language..at least judging by its popularity...
Personally i found the move to C++ quite difficult as i was coming from non object-oriented languages or specific softwares (vba excel, matlab...).
I'm not after extremely advanced tasks, such as games etc.. just want to eventually be able to develop decently stable and reliable systems.
I guess starting from a c++ base would facilitate a move to java, what do you think?
thanks

What exactly are you asking?
If having C++ knowledge will help learning Java? Yes, maybe.
If it's a good idea to learn C++ to later move on to Java? No. If you want to learn Java, learn Java.
Knowing C++ beforehand only helps because some of that knowledge (and experience) can be recycled when learning Java, making the process faster.
