Question

I am just a graduate from India and I have knowledge of Java, JSP and Servlets, Android application development and some iOS development.

I do not have a background in C or C++ and a little weak background in Data Structures and Algorithms. I want to know whether I can make a successful career in the IT industry without knowledge of C or C++ but having a strong grasp on Java and Python (which is what I am thinking of learning next).

As for the Data Structures and Algorithms part I am planning to study them again with implementation in Java as I am not fluent in C or C++. Can I go good in future if I know Data Structures through Java?

Explanation / Answer

There are many Java jobs out there. Being weak on Data Structures and Algorithms is a bigger issue than not being familiar with a specific language, though. Don't worry about learning new languages until you understand the uses and implementations of data structures and algorithms. Opportunities to learn new languages will come to you if you've got a solid foundation in the principles of Computer Science.
