Thanks to everyone.

I possess only ISO99 C and ISO98 C++ programming skills.

Since theoretical concepts about TCP/IP, SNMP etc. are common, I have
to learn them anyway, independent of programming language. I will do
that.

But I do not know multithreading, Interprocess Communication, Sokets
API, and other UNIX system calls.

Under this situation, between C and Java, which will be the language I
should choose to learn.

Kindly explain.

Thanks again.

If you need to do UNIX system calls, then you should use C/C++. Java is a good
cross-platform language, but you do not issue OS specific calls directly in
Java. It does have some nice multithreading and networking apis.
