Abstract
<p class="0abstract">Students' learning interest and motivation in programming language to date are determined by their scores and abilities to create applications. However, this is not sufficient to identify students' learning interest in programming language because some students got low scores. This study aims to identify students' learning interest in Dipanegara school of informatics management and computer (STMIK), Makassar, in Java programming language. The samples were 65 technical information students and 63 information system students. The data collection technique of this study was questionnaire and processed with data mining technique. Additionally, Fuzzy C-Means clustering method was applied on Java Netbeans programming language to classify the level of students' interest in studying Java programming language. The result of the study was a web-based application that could determine students’ learning interests. It was obtained through questionnaires and resulted as follows: 47 students had high learning interest, 45 students had moderate interest, and 36 students had fair interest out of 128 samples.</p>

Programming language is a vital component of computer devices
The first person is the user, which is a student as a sample, the administrator who would witness the process of fuzzy c-means method implementation to assess the results of questionnaires filled by students that later will be stored in a database
The questionnaire consists of 30 questions; it is 5 optional questions that come with point 1-5
Summary
Programming language is a vital component of computer devices. The levels of programming language are machine code, low-level language, middle-level language, and high-level language. The higher the programming or computer language, the closer it is to the language applied by humans to communicate daily. Dipa Makassar Of University is an Information Technology (IT) college where graduates could create programs or applications. The programming language is a compulsory and essential course since it is the communication media between programmers and computer machines. We could not create a program or application that could help us with our works. It is important to check out students' interest in learning a programming language
