It's been forever :O

Just a heads up Flare: C++ is going to really bottleneck you. In other words, you're going to learn at a far slower pace than you would working with a language like Python. Sorry if I'm being persistent with this, but I feel as though it's true.

Java is simple for the most part. But it's a 'foreign' language for creating bots and such (or at least in the locale of LG and other widely known botting communities). So naturally it'll be harder to pick up on as well. Just not for the same reasons as C/C++. Java could give you deployment issues and other related problems, but that's all theoretical.

After learning Java I'd seriously recommend going with Python. I know you want to learn something more powerful, but as a novice you won't need much power until you get a bit further up the ladder. Python is a simple and powerful programming language. The learning curve is also much less harsh. More appropriate for you.

Only trying to help.

Edit: Post more though. Mainly programming stuff. I want to see more education related posts on LG. Omlett said he'd post homework he needed help on in Tinychat. Not sure how that's going to turn out though.
