A little help
A little help
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I am 18 years old and will enroll to university this autumn. I will be studying computer science on TUe (Technical University of Eindhoven). A little more than a year ago I started learning c++ and am pretty satisfied with my programming skills at the moment. I do realize I have a lot more to learn but I am looking for a new challenge.
To cut to the chase, I cannot decide whether to learn Java or C#.
I will be learning Java at the university and can take C# classes as electives, so I am able to learn both at the university. I realize they are very similar in some ways and completely different in others, and it all depends on what I plan on doing with them. I would really like to do something with artificial intelligence in professional terms, however I don't want to learn it by myself at the moment (I will be learning it at university).
Do you guys have any suggestions on what should I choose?
BTW: Is there anyone who is also going to TUe, I don't know anyone there yet

It all depends upon what you want to get into...

RE: A little help
For instance to give you an idea (might be a bit out of date),
1) Compiled languages such as C++ or Fortran, usually used for speed.
2) Just-in-time compiled languages with a virtual machine such as Java or C#. Since these languages work within a set environment the often have good user interface integration.
3) Interpreted languages such as Python, Perl, or Ruby which are quick to program. Powerful enough now for most user-based programming.
4) Markup languages such as HTML or XML. These are usually used with scripting languages such as Javascript, PHP, or any of the above.
There are also more specialized languages for databases, math and statistical packages, etc. It's also worth knowing which languages are more platform independent or what environments are required for them. Languages are always in development so you will be learning new ones throughout your career.
