I have little experience in both Java and C++. I have designed a few
programs in both languages.

I get a lot confused as many times I use Java code in C++ and C++ code
in Java.

So I have descided to only work in one Language.

Both C++ and Java has their importance.

What language should I master. I just want to know who gets higher
salary a Java Programmer or a C++ Programmer?

Because Learning both creates confusions So I have to Choose the best
among them.

Whose future is better a Java Programmer or a C++ Programmer? What
else should I learn for a good Career. Should I learn C# which is very
easy?

How much max salary per Annum I can get If I become a C++ Expert.

and How much max salary per Annum I can get If I become a Java Expert.

Experts in fields, Please Advice.

Bye
Sanny.

Paid programmers work with any language on / for any OS.

IMHO this is the wrong question. You can achieve mastery in any of
those languages and for any of those there are well paid jobs. If
you're in the market for money only though, I doubt you have the proper
motivation to achieve mastery.

There is no "best" language. Every tool has its strengths and
weaknesses. The question would be "best for what?"

> Whose future is better a Java Programmer or a C++ Programmer?

You must imagine that the community as a form of crystal ball. I am
afraid I have to inform you that this is not the case.

Define "good career".

> Should I learn C# which is very easy?

Without knowing C# too much I'd say this is a misconception. C# has a
similar level of complexity at least as Java because it is object
oriented and has a standard library of significant size AFAIK.

Note also that knowing the syntax, constructs and library of a language
not necessarily makes you an expert software developer. You also have
to be aware of all sorts of design level practices that are quite
independent of programming languages.

You would at least have to provide the bit of information in which
region(s) you are willing to work.

Neither. The commercial person who sells the final product
makes the most money.

There is no "best", and if learning both creates confusions, you
should probably look for a different profession; I regularly use
four or five different languages (C++, Java, AWK, Unix
shell...).

Poor choice. Most employers would rather employ the programmer who can
utilize multiple programming languages over one who will choose to use
but a single language.

Any difference in salary between the two would be dwarfed by other
factors, such as seniority, etc. In other words, statistically speaking,
neither.

If you want to try for the big bucks, I hear COBOL is coming back in vogue.

There is no "best" language. For the most part, languages are
fundamentally incomparable. Every single programming language has its
strengths and weaknesses; the goal is to match up a programming language
to the task.

Ideally, you should be well-rounded as a programmer. This means you
should be able to code in C/C++ and Java. You'll probably want some
functional languages under your belt; Python and Perl are two good
dynamic programming languages to tackle, although Ruby seems to be the
next "hip" language. The list goes on.

Another piece of advice would be to brush up on rules of punctuation,
capitalization, and grammar in general.

None of them.
Programmer is the lowest level in the hierarchy of an IS

Real programmers can do FORTRAN programming in any language.

Do you have evidence for those statistics?

Never went out of vogue.

If you are applying for jobs where English is a relevant skill, you will
improve your earning power by increasing your mastery of that language.

Non-programming skills often count for more than one's technical abilities
when climbing the corporate rungs.

Some might look at your random capitalization of different words in English
and wonder if you are sensitive to case sensitivity in Java. It is a shame,
perhaps, that your command of English might block someone's ability to
perceive your command of programming, but that is a reality in the work world.

Which is exactly what makes Java the best programming language.




for those who insist on explicit irony markers.

You should, but it isn't easy.

This is not parochialism, but a necessity when one is forced to communicate in
any language. It is vitally necessary in written communications; face to
face, people will forgive accents and unusual constructions, but in written
communication there is little tolerance for fundamental errors, and less
reason for there to be any.

I'd have to agree. Once you factor out the general state of the economy
(i.e. are IT employers hurting for developers or is there a surfeit of
developers?) and the effects of geography (i.e. your salary is influenced
very heavily by where you live), I can't think of a market I've been in
where I sensed that developers in one of the following groups - Java/J2EE,
C#/.NET, or C/C++ - were paid significantly more or less than their peers in
the other two.

As an individual, _who_ you work for is the other major factor besides
seniority in determining compensation. Are you a consultant/contract
programmer? Do you work as an employee of a private software house? Or do
you work for the government?

Seniority and ability are intertwined, and feature in varying proportions as
factors in determining salary depending on who you work for.

To me that would be well down on my list of considerations. I ask
questions like this:

1. which language do I enjoy coding more? What counts is how much I
enjoy my life. I spend a LOT of it coding.

2. which language will let me tackle more interesting projects. For
than reason COBOL is out. I have no interested in maintaining payroll
programs. If I wanted to make money, I would learn the arcane art of
Unix system administration.

3. Which language will leave my options open where I work. I don't
want to get stuck in some place I hate. I want to be able to go
anywhere. Which language is become more accepted. Which are becoming
obsolete?

4. Which languages offer work from home?

Salary depends on where work, your experience and your general
programming skills (not language and technology specific).

The languages and technologies you know should have much less
impact on salary level.

You should be aware that tools, languages and technologies comes
and goes, so over a life long career you will have to work
with multiples of those no matter what.
