At the college you are attending or attended, was the focus on a native language (C, C++) or a managed language (Java, C#)? The first real language I learned was C++ and later when I had to take a class in Java, I thought it was very easy.

It's an interesting question. Although too narrow. I have to a agree with some of the people on the blog comments said, which is that unless you are fairly young pup when it comes to programming, Java (and other managed languages) probably didn't exist when you did your undergraduate studies.

or graduate... Graduating in '96 it was Assembly, C++, and Pascal for me (not necessarilly in that order).
Java was a whisper on the horizon about to make itself known to the world, Windows 95 was the latest and greatest in operating systems, .NET didn't exist, COM was the coming revolution.
