Re: Preferred Programming Language

My two top languages would be Java or C++. Java has a lot more resource to find on it, so it makes it a much easier learning curve. C++ on the other hand doesn't have as much resources on it, but it can be very similar to java. I think the bigger thing is, is how much time do you have to learn. If you have little time, I would suggest going with Java. If you have a lot of time, I would try C++ by following the examples. Overall I'd say Java is the better language for beginning teams.
