Hi java looks good...i'm interested in web page design ... as i'm very new to c and c++ i am confused with java, ( for an example, within the context sensitive help whilst resting the cursor over the statement or instruction and by pressing f1 it then displays that statements syntax, but i've noticed that java has the same instruction set as c and c++, also i've placed two icon's on the speed menu that display syntax highlighting 1 for c++ and the other for java and when you click the java one with a java file open the syntax highlites, selecting the c++ icon de-selects highlighting unless you have a c/c++ file open...how does it distinguish between c++ and java ? tell me is java wrote in the same language as c or and c++ or have i interpreted this wrong?..furthermore is java the best language for me to learn as opposed to c/c++ ? ... and if so is java soley aimed at web page design or can it be used as standalone exe programs like c/c++ ? My knowledge of programming is with z80 assembler....so should i start with learning c++ and skip c, or would c++ expect you to already know some c ? Note: i realise that i've asked alot of maybe stupid questions but i want to start in the right place. thanks in advance William Barker.
