But I want to ask a very basic but important question (for me of course :) )

I have started learning python 2 but after reading Joel Lee’s post

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-websites-learn-python-programming/

I am confused right now about one thing… whether to learn python 3 or 2 ..??

He says in his post that if you are a newbie you should go for Python 3

What should I do..??

Please reply ASAP

Thank You

Personally though, I wish I had started with C/C++ because I think it helps you learn more programming concepts, whereas Java is fairly easy to pick up (in my opinion anyway).

See what other programmers on StackOverflow think about this very dilemma: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/143820/i-can-learn-either-c-or-java-which-one-should-i-choose-first-should-i-take-the.

This fall, I enroll college for computer science. One of my classes in this first semester is java programming, I guess I suppose learn Java first before C++, is that right?

It’s good to be aware of the web development languages that are out there, which is why our very own James authored an article explaining such differences: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/programming-language-learn-web-programming/.

Thinking in Java’s third edition is free and available for download at http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/.

I also found Intro to Programming Using Java by David Eck (http://math.hws.edu/javanotes/) and Think Java by Allen B. Downey (http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkapjava/). Hope those suggestions help as well.
