Re: C++ or Java

any lanaguage can be used
java is free
c++ is free

both are fine at the level they function at

c++ is a lower level language then java as java reuses c++ componenets

but this makes java a little faster and nicer interfaces are easier to make
just a little extra code is needed for exception handling

if your new to programming
use c and c++ then java when you learn c++

a tip is to have lots of example sources

here is some cd volumes for c++
they are cheep and downloadable

C++ or Java

D'ont forget Java have always a JRE at the midle, so performance is lower thant C++ (compiled directly for the OS), so in some scenarios of realtime JRE brings problems..

Re: C++ or Java

Assalamo Allykum !

I Think the C/C++ is best for your reequirement.

I prefer to use C/C++ for the serial communication.

On the otherhand Visual Basic 6.0 is another good option for you that you can use for serial communication.

Take Care

Re: C++ or Java

With C or C++ you have direct access to serial ports, its easy to control and R/W from serial ports.

I do not suggest JAVA for these things.

Re: C++ or Java

go for C or C++ , they are made for doing things like this , whereas java is more of an network language, so u may also use java, but C++ would be simpler and faster.(in writing program).

and you may easily find some code in C/C++ on this....

Re: C++ or Java

i think C++ has more systems commands for such purposes, also many drivers are written in C++ so i would suggest u to use C++

Re: C++ or Java

hi guys,
these are from my point of view and real life experience:-



for embeded programming --- C is the best.
for application development for general purpose computer where memory is not a concern and slight speed reduction is also not a concern : JAVA is really the best. currently it is the language of choice for most application programmer(for general purpose computer and web based applications).

also you can put c code/programs in java code where necessary. and also java really got a futurestic look.

c++ is the between of these two languages. and i should tell ther is very large difference between C and C++. so dont mix the two. Java looks much more than C than C++.

Re: C++ or Java

No you don't have to study C.

I think it is better for you to study C++ in order to really understand object oriented programming.

This is a powerful programming paradigm and it should allow you later on to learn more easily Java and other similar languages

Re: C++ or Java

I think you should learn C before C++.  
C is a base of C++ programming.
C is more easy and you'll spend less time to understand C-programming.
After that you can learn C++ - when you know basics it's very easy to learn some new useful features.

Re: C++ or Java

start programming using any language. You would have been done by now..The "C++ or Java" argument will never end so don't wait for it.

Oh...and C is nothing like C++. Keep that in mind
