I'm going to post here when I can't figure out certain aspects of Java. I don't know how many of you know the language well, but help will be appreciated as I go through this bootcamp.
Also an excuse for me to post a countdown until Doomsday.
So far you are able to search via summoner name to be able to pull the last ranked game played of that person, the other people in that game, the outcome, and what champions/masteries/final builds were used. Also able to search by champ to get common builds, strats, and champ match ups along with their lore and full array of skins. I'm thinking of toying with the live ranked match feature on their API and to see if I can get it on the app, but I'm focusing on securing the search function and fully testing out my controllers first.
Java gets used more in web apps than C-family languages for a variety of reasons, one being corporate culture of course but another big win is you don't have to worry about buffer overflow attacks with the JVM. Kind of a big deal when your app is facing the public internet.
As long as you have a JVM, Java runs. Java is also fun because it's awesome for OOP. ^_^

There's different levels of programming languages, and different types of languages on their respective levels.
C++ if really good for object oriented stuff, which is basically the purpose of the language.
I'm not an expert, but as far as I know Java is good because it runs on most operating systems, is arguably better for web design, etc.
Basically, some languages are optimized(important as your program gets bigger) for certain purposes or systems, and there are different levels of languages that handle different types of problems.
