Technology issues

I am a teachers assistant for a C++ class and this is really the only language that I know. Some of my students have been asking me about Java and XML. What are the differences between the three languages and what are the advantages of using one over another. What are the good and bad points of Java and XML compared to C++.

[Andreas Masur]

JAVA is a language which should run on every platform. JAVA uses most of the programing principles of c++. The only differences is that you won't find the 'difficult' things from c++ like pointers and so on in JAVA. XML is an enhancement set of instructions for HTML. XML allows you to define new tags for building HTML-sites.

I'm not looking for ratings but they'll tell me how useful my help is.
