Fair enough. BTW - JS is a funky language - we've spoken here many times in other threads about it. It *appears* to work like other, more normal languages, but doesn't. Frustrating, but worth the time in learning.

Good luck Leaferz.

Java is widely used in the enterprise and in CS education. You won't go wrong with it. Java devs are higher-paid than nearly any other type of developer as well (excepting very niche skills or ancient proprietary languages, etc.).

Thx guys. I'll probably begin java sometime in sept as I'm hoping to be part of the actual course by then. First it's C from Jan-April then C++ from May-August and luckily it's being taught by the same teacher who taught me C over 10 years ago.

Maybe then I'll be able to decipher some of the useful code being posted around here

If you just want to learn OO
C++ or Java is worst place to learn

I did not really understand OO till i started to use python.

If you have the time, learn C/C++ that way u can make extensions for higher level language like python,php,perl,ruby etc 
Also if u do not understand pointers u are fuked

Java/C# is just a crippled C++

Python does look interesting,
