Why not? Just because it has a lot of depth to it doesn't make it harder than others. It's faster, cleaner, and the most widely used.

On the other hand, why the fuck would you ever recommend the abomination of Java (and to a less extent C#) to permanently ruin someone with?

Actually that sound pretty awesome for a first course in programming. Don't pussy out into the retard bin of CS101 Enterprise Java Code-monkeying

1st semester Physics is a boring repeat of Highschool Physics
1st semester Chem is a boring repeat of Highschool Chemistry with maybe a week or two of new stuff at the end depending on its pacing
Calculus I is easy as shit, Calculus II with its series and sequences is where you risk getting lost.

No one cares about that. It's not aimed at writing code with.

>I'm trying to code a method in Java
Why the fuck would you EVER do that shit?

Code in a real language or get the fuck out

C++

Learn C++ before your brain gets warped by java and becomes incapable of learning real programming.

>last semester i signed up for a 2000 level intro engineering accounting
>Signed up for Intro to Computer Science this term

If you're an engineer (or your school lets you take engineering courses), then why the hell aren't you taking the superior intro to coding class for EE/CompE that teaches in C++/C?
