This teacher talks about the evils of learning Java as a first language.
I completely agree!!!

I agree with the first article, having suffered through hiring fresh-outs who only know Java.
I have to respectfully disagree about Ada being "the language of software engineering par excellence", though.
Show me commercial software written in Ada, and I might change my mind, but I'm fairly certain it's only people doing government/military work who use Ada, and then only because they have to.
I would add that you also need to learn a little about something outside the mainstream: Ruby, perl, Python, and F# come to mind.
Indeed so about Ada ;) The main point was against Java, and I'm down with that :)
Best,
John
