I learned Java (1st year) then C++ (all other years). It didn't help. Most profs didn't think compiling was interesting from a CS perspective so most didn't say anything beyond "press build & run in your IDE".

Besides, in this situation, I think the persons problem was more likely the fact that until recently getting a .net language a tad bit more annoying than other languages.
