I started learning java as my 1st programming language, is it ok ?

because I heard many times that starting is done with C++ and then to other languages.

It doesn't really matter which language you use to start learning programming because basics are quite similar in every language. Moreover, when you start learning Java you also learn OOP which is the main concept of this language. So, you made a good choice.

Learn the language you are going to use or have to use. Learning a language without using it almost waste of time, will forgot it soon.

Java is great. But I like to mention that if you understand c++ pointers (or references to memory in general), you won't have problems understanding Java objects. So learning c++ first has its benefits, too.

java is a good choice. c++ is too complicated. it would be much easier to learn c++ after java
