Thank you all this information is very helpful.
I was going to either use C or Java because once I learn these I can pursue other interests outside of FRC. I chose C over Java because more programs are written in C compared to Java.(

But, since most of you guys and people I have talked to say they use Java because it is easier, I might just go with that.
Can anyone show me where to start programming in Java? Either in general or FRC based. This is my first language ever so I have no clue what an IDE is or anything like that.
Sorry for the overwhelming response, but I don't have a clue what I'm talking about. Thanks!
