Remember: Java Script is not Java.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge... I thought that all that stuff was Java... How would I know what is Java and what is Java Script?

If you see the word "class" it is Java. :)


And it's easy to see in the context. Java is always in files that end with .java and is seen as source code only rarely - it's compiled to bytecode for distribution. Also, Java is used for real applications or applets.

JavaScript on the other hand is a scripting language. You'll see it mostly in context of browsers or other applications, as macros, as short scripts, embedded in HTML/XML or in seperate files that usually end with .js

DX and OGL aren't engines. Engines use DX or OGL. ;)

DX and OpenGL are engines. Engines built on top of them are just higher level. IMO, java is easier to program than C++ because it is much higher level, so there is a reason to compile it to native code instead of just using C++, not knowing C++/C. I'm learning it but its a heck of a lot harder than java.

I think the Java-like subset of C++ is no harder than Java itself, but that's only my opinion.

I learned JAva at school last year, and C++ this year. And they are very similar. But there is a bit more to think about when you are coding in C++. A lot more ointer stuf, pointers to everything. So it is a bit harder. But as I said, the syntax and so on is very similar in both languages.

HELLO, has anyone mentioned anything from the .net framework . Would C# be a better choice than C++ as it is simpler but has all the interesting stuff C++ has (eg. inheritance and polymorphism) as well as cross compatibility. :eek:
