No No No, do not start with either, major mistake!!!
don't get me wrong, I like Java a lot, but you should start with a sequential language such as ANSI C if you want to have a good foundation. Then once you have learned C then learn Java which Is object oriented.
If you start with Java I think you will find yourself handicapped, especially if you are trying to make a career move.

Is there anyone of you who entered the Java programming world from a non-IT professional field, anyone who held a non- computer related job and then went about learning Java, passed the SCJP exam and started his/her new carrier? Have the seasoned Java programmers on this forum always been programmers? How did you entered Java?
Again, I will be gratefull for any responses![]()
