Questions for Java programmers - Computers, Math, Science, and ...



There are a group of similar but different languages including (but not limited to) Java, C++, C#, Objective-C, and Python. They're similar in how they derive their basic syntax from C, but can be quite different in many other aspects.

The more languages you learn, the easier it is to learn the next language. This is also a problem, since the more languages you learn, the harder it is to remember any one language because they're all similar but different.


No. The name "JavaScript" is an unfortunate choice which has forever linked the language to Java. Call it ECMAScript.

JavaScript is an interesting language to learn, because it is a dynamic language that can be used for functional programming, and very different from Java or C#. That's what I mean when I say similar but different. JavaScript shares a superficial syntax with Java, but the language is remarkably different in emphasis.

Google is your friend. Use it to do research.

Probably what you want to do is learn about programming, using something like O'Reilly's "Practical Programming" book. Then learn about Java in general. ("Thinking In Java" is good.) Then learn about the domain you want to work in, such as game programming. If you want to learn about game programming, learning linear algebra and matrix theory will be a must (check out Dover's math books on this topic), as well as computer graphics.
