Java SE vs Java SE Embedded

Question

Is one "better"? I'm not sure what I should do as someone just starting out.

Answer 1

whenever you see the word "embedded" like java embedded, embedded C, OpenGL ES (Embedded System), this means that this is a modified version of the language or the API made to run on an embedded system.

embedded systems are machines which performs a specific task unlike a general purpose computer, like a calculator, a microwave oven, an elevator, your mobile phone (although it's a controversy nowadays as mobiles are becoming more general purposed).
