Well depends upon what you want to do. Each coding language has its pros and cons. Give us information as to what you want to create then maybe we can give you better answer upon what you tell us.

ohh thanks i get it so python tends to work in a form to make the script smaller allowing les confusion.. Unlike java which is alot of steps and writing that can deal great damage to the head...
Ok so i should do Python but because i wana learn all of it like the details and all then i'll go with java which has the most stuff thanks mat8

You should definitely have a look at You must login or register to view this content. if you're interested in learning python, it's very thorough and makes python incredibly easy to learn. I used it ages ago and it was great.

(The name doesn't refer to it actually being hard, but more so doing it properly so you _actually_ learn)

thanks alot i will be looking into it but i wana finish with java at least being able to grasp the concept but tomorrow is friday and i'll be free to have a day for programming...
also i saw your name in my inbox and i was shizzing it lol i though i did something wrong...

Bookmarked that because I have had an interest in learning Python but never did. Took on VB.Net but scrapped that crap and am on C#, planning on moving on over to C++ once I finish my MW3 Toolkit (Calculator, Class Builder, Item Information, UDP Flooder all in one). Smile

What Java tutorials were you using? I'm trying to get together something that looks like it will help me learn it so when I get a new CPU I can also learn that on top of C++.

Here's the truth. If you go to a Python programmer and ask them which is better, "Python or Java", they'll answer "Python". Same if you compare Python to Perl, PHP, or really any group of languages.
This is a pride and familiarity thing, and consequently, if you go to a Java programmer and ask them which is better, they'll answer "Java".

There is no better language, but both languages do different things in a different way.

I will say this:
Python is very powerful, and very easy.
Java is also very powerful, and slightly more difficult to learn for those new to programming, because it has all those "confusing curly brackets and what not".

Personally, I would recommend you select a language, and hold a course. For a first programming language, I would recommend Java over Python (and I'd recommend Java over virtually all languages). With Java you can reach a wider audience, work with even more developers, find work even easier, develop for a series of platforms (Android, JSP, applets, etc.) and it holds true to the C-Syntax, which while it may seem odd that I favor the C-Syntax so greatly, its really because it makes learning other languages easier.

Either way, what you ought to do is select a language, I don't care whether you choose Java, Python, Haskell, or Brainf*ck. Just learn a language, if you flip around too much, you'll never really learn anything.

Last note, I program in both Java and Python, and I often prefer to use Python for its simplicity and its focus on allowing the developer to actually develop, however when I want to deploy a large scale application, I'll typically favor Java out of the two. In my opinion, if you've already started with Java, stick with it. Stop researching other languages, and focus in on learning Java. You can spend all the time in the world learning how to make "hello world" programs, but programming isn't useful until you actually learn a language. Besides, you're never bound to a single language, once you learn one, learn another!

...hmm
I would start with java.
Once you learn its syntax you will have a basic understanding of any language, which will make taking on a new language very much easier. :y:
