Learning Java before C/C++

Well there is absolutely no reason why you can't learn Java without knowing the other two. It would require more effort, but nevertheless is still easier. In fact, learning C/C++ is much more difficult.

No wonder nowadays, there is an increasing tendency to directly learn Java. But it there a problem in this? I always felt so.

Learning OOPS concepts through Java is possible; but do you think you can visualize the concepts to the extent you can with C++. Also basic CS stuff like Data Structures, Searching, Sorting is better understood through these languages than Java.

When I read Joel On Software's post about this, it made 100% sense to me. You can read it at:

Rich - Poor Divide

I was just going through fee structures as mentioned by the "Shikshan Shulk Samiti". This prompted me to write an article over the same.


As far as I can see today Engineering, Medical and Management form the largest group of courses which lead to financial success.


Of course you could argue that people who haven't studied or studied other courses have also succeeded. While this is true, this rags-to-riches stories aren't many.
I feel that not even 10% of poor and lower middle class people could do it.
