Two at the same time?
I did some beginning programming with C++ and Visual Basic about 5 years ago. Lately I kind of feel like doing it again. I was going to start with something new like Java, but I'm not too sure. It seems that Java is pure object oriented and you start studying classes and objects a lot sooner than you would if you study C++. Because of that difference I'm a little hesitant. Maybe I shouldn't be, but when you're not used to something it always makes you feel a bit uncomfortable. So I don't know if I will just go back to C++ for awhile or perhaps study both Java and C++ at the same time. I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not.

welcome to the forums...
You should probably just start with C++, learning two languages almost totally from scratch might (will) get confusing and ussually people seem to reccomend C++ :/

In my opinion, Java may be easier to learn than C++. It's really up to you. They're both great languages, but don't be intimidated by Java's OO. It's really quite simple once you start learning.

Out of the two I would recommend Java as a teaching language. Although C++ is more powerful, then syntax can be too complex for a beginner in some places. Being competant in another language first - such as Java - will give you a greater understanding of C++ when you start to program in that.
