..how long it takes to learn java...


thats a very sketchy definition


Being able to write, compile and start your own java app - days to weeks
Understanding how and when to use interfaces, inheritance vs composition etc - months
Learning and understanding how and when to use the different design patterns, learn best practises etc - years

It all depends of course on how much time you want to invest per week and how fast you learn new things.

I think java is easier to learn then c++.
But if you know one, its not very hard to use the other.

I started out on Python, then switched to C#/Java once I got the hang of things after around 6 months (not working fulltime on my computer either).

I agree very much with this statement.
