Learning C++ and Java Programming

I'm starting to go through some Java tutorials to write code for other things. I was going to learn Java, and after I got a solid idea of the Java language, learn C++ to avoid confusion and allow for better understanding of the C++ language.

My question is, will learning Java help me understand C++ any better? If not, then I'll just study them both at the same time.

By the way, I have almost no coding experience at all, other than a decent background with BBcode and HTML.

I learned java before C++ myself. Java will help you with some minor concepts and basic C-style syntax. The main thing with C++ is you will have to do memory management, you have pointers, structs, graphics, etc, and you will need to understand how compilers work. Unlike Java's compile once, run anywhere scheme, C++ needs to be built for a particular platform (Operating System). I would highly recommend checking out thenewboston on youtube for basic java and C++ tutorials.

Thank you for wanting to learn instead of just C&P code off of others like 90% of people who visit these forums. It will be a difficult road, but well worth it! C++ is a lot of fun once you break the "I can't" barrier.
