What would you recommend as the language to learn the principles, then?
Obviously most schools, including mine, use C++. Microsoft's doing a big push for C# (shudder, more proprietary junk). My school uses lisp and assembly for some higher-end stuff, but AFAIK there's no real Java class.
Of course, we're getting a new CompSci professor next semester, so that should help ...
Edit: Grr, gonna take awhile to get used to responding in the right spot.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
