Java, lol

I was told by a game developer at this seminar that if I want to learn how to program games, a good way to start is with Java and making cellphone games. I plan on learning C++ before Java anyway but around how long would it take a newbie to learn Java or when would it be a good idea to learn Java if not at all?

Python is not the best for 3D engines. Big deal.
Finally. Glad you agree with what we've been saying all along. Now quit recommending Python to the OP already, Jesus Christ.
