While were on the subject of switching to Java… I am a VB, Oracle developer
looking to add a new language to my skill set. I have been bouncing back
and forth on whether to learn Java or C++. I have taken courses in both
and find Java more rewarding. My only concern is will it sustain its growth
pattern. I’ve found a few studies that say it’s here to stay and others,
at DevX, that say it will be relegated to minor middleware projects. I
guess I’m looking for assurance so I don’t spend the next 6 months learning
something that will be of little value like is college we they made you learn
Assembly, COBOL etc…

Thanks
