Good for you for going down the programming path in your studies.  But what exactly did you hear that Java is best at?  What are you looking to do?

well I heard it's the best and nicest programming language becuz of the intuitive errors it gives you an some other crap, but he's the teacher so, expect he'd say that. ..lmao....using it to build applications and programs.

I would start with C# then move to JAVA..  Java is a little tricker because there is no native, other than netbeans, IDE.  I learned JAVA back in high school then C#.. I wish I would have started with C# because most of the code is exactly the same, C# is the MS alternative to JAVA, and because you can develop C# in Visual Studio.. Which is about 1 billion times better than anything you are going to find for JAVA.   

I developed mostly on BlueJ and some netbeans..  All you need for a compiler is the SDK and a IDE and you should be set..
