Are there any reasons why java isn't used that much in AI besides polarization based upon what the prominent researchers are using? It seems that most cs students, at least in so, cal, know java so it would seem that it would be more prominent.
Your assertion is kind of subjective...but....artificial intelligence is computer science. Computer science is language agnostic. The point of AI is AI, not programming languages.
That said, from what I remember, certain languages have features that make implementing certain AI algorithms much easier. So sometimes it might make sense to use a specific language if its going to make your life easier. Im guessing that's the case here.

I'm finishing my degree this summer with an IT degree. I had to take several coding courses in C++, Java, HTML / CSS and Python. I never went very deep in all of these languages - just enough to get my feet wet. I felt like I learned concepts more than languages which is good. I'm interested in learning more in hopes of self-training to get a developer job.
Can you point me to books, forums, websites etc... I'm not looking to learn a individual language mow in death just a firmer grasp on programming. Thanks.
Sounds like you need "purpose". The best way to learn programming is to do it with a purpose in mind. If you don't have ideas for a project on which to learn (if its something useful or sellable all the better), then look around for open source projects you are interested. Dig in and start working on it. Explore github or google code for projects that interest you. Down load and study the code, etc.

I'm looking for a game which will allow me to test various artificial intelligence, reinforcement learning and machine learning algorithms. It would be great, if there will be good documentation or even helpful framework for writing AI. I know about TORCS, but do you know other games? It doesn't matter in which language it is written. It can be any arcade game, simulator, FPS, etc.
Quake 3 is an ideal candidate for bot design.
open source code base.
Realistic scenario (compared to robocode which is a toy domain).
existing bots and I believe the first bots used in Quake 3 where the output of a Ph.D.
lots of documentation.
You should look at ISBoxer, a platform for multiboxing games. It might seem like that suggestion is offtopic, but this is not the case. The platform has a scripting engine inbuilt and people have create injection based API's for certain games (Everquest, Eve online, world of warcraft, and more that I don't know of).
This might not be what you are looking for, since the bots in this context are written as state machines. But it is something worth considering.

QT C++ programming is best for learning or java SE is best?
Which one?
Please help me
It comes down to your needs. What is most suitable for you. Both are great and fun to learn. I myself learned C++ first and then went to Java. I really enjoy working in both but I enjoy GUI work more in Java.
Again it comes to your skills and needs. If you are good with C++ and plan to stick with it in future than sure go with Qt C++ otherwise every language is good to learn as every thing has its Pro's and Con's..

I don't know much of either languages, but what would be better for writing applications that deals with the following. Right now, I use PHP, but I'm looking to see what would be the next ideal language to dig into, if the needs arise.
MySQL
off-line data processing of CSV, XML, etc. files
web applications (dynamic websites)
I understand that this could quite possibly be subjective.. so if you could just pitch in some pros and cons, that would be superb. TIA!
If you come from PHP, JAVA is probably a bit easier than C++ for you.
If you are looking to make dynamic websites with a programming language you should look into C#

Most google results for sample questions/problems for java, results in a link directing to mock certification questions. Does anyone know where can i find sample problems for practice ?
Thanks
codingbat has hundreds of Java practice problems. In addition to sheer numbers of problems, it's also great because it has a testing mechanism in place to check if your solution is correct.
They're mostly on the easy category, but it's still good for practice, and you can always challenge yourself by imposing your own restrictions, e.g. recursion when it's not demanded, regex-only instead of traditional string manipulation, "cheating" by using libraries, etc.
Project Euler is popular. There's not much point in being language-specific if your goal is general practice rather than testing detail knowledge.
