Is knowledge of English important in programming?

Question

Java

Good afternoon. Tell me, how important is knowledge of English for programming with the same C ++, Java, php, etc.?.
And what would you advise to learn initially - Java or C ++? Since in the future I plan to write applications for Android systems and, possibly, iOS, Mac OS, Windows.

Answer 1

About English you have already been answered. and it is needed not in order to master the programming language, but in order to:
- read specifications
- freely read documentation on the libraries / frameworks used
- search for answers on forums, etc.
Conversational in this case is secondary, but this does not mean that it should be scored on.
Java is simpler, it has a lower level of occurrence than C++. But if you still plan to program under iOS, Mac OS in the future, then study C in parallel. Better at first without pluses. Then C++.

Answer 2

Yes, and the further into the forest the more you need.

Answer 3

1. You have to read constantly. You can do without conversational (but not necessary).
2. Java is easier. But this is a very tricky question.

Answer 4

1/ all modern information is primary in English
2/ there are a lot of resources for learning English
3/ the choice of language is determined by the scope and tasks
