From Coldfusion to Java or C++: Any advice?
I have been coding coldfusion for about 7 years now, since I first got the Coldfusion Express edition and learning kit when it was still owned by Alliare. Next week I start 2 new classes at school, Java I and C++ I (with JAVA II and C++ II the following semester) Does anyone have any advice for me? I have at least been exposed to Java in my CF travels, but I have done little else in C++ than compile a 'hello world application. I know Java has many frameworks, is there one that would be more useful to learn over another one? How about C++, are there frameworks out there (I'm sure there are, I just have never been exposed yet).
I'm a big fan of Eclipse, and feel very comfortable within it. Can I work just as easily in Eclipse with C++ as I do with CF or Java? What are the best plugins for Java or C++ work?
Thanks anyone for advice you can offer!
