you HAV to learn C first if you wanna be good.
NO you don't.
While C++ is a superset of C, it has some syntactical differences and many philosophical differences that make it confusing to learn C first. At least I (and kedaman too) think so.
The C parts of C++ need to be learned of course as they still are the core of the language, but you don't learn C first, you learn C++ basics first (using variables, constants, functions etc), then go on to the OOP (classes, inheritance, polymorphism and templates).
Wow, I cant believe people are finding my website useful!! I swear I would have delivered better quality and authentic styles if I had the time and if I had ANY controll over the website/server! I only had 2 months to do all of that with a team of mostly lazy bums who'd let me and struntz do all of the work on our own! But it was an experience.
Next year, I will upgrade it and bring the most exclusive and inclusive coverage of VB and VC!! Also expect to see completely new things, and links to forums on many boards... I will add a "cache" tool that will "cache" those links (like Googles) :)
And CornedBee, I think its best to learn C first, that way you can appreciate C++ for what it is compared to C!! There needs to be some sour to make you appreciate the sweet right?!

MoMad is right that learning C first will make you appreciate C++, but it's not mandatory. In my opinion, If you want to learn C++ quick and easily, then forget about C and just learn C++. The "transition time" between C and C++ can be quite long, but it can also be avoided.
Yes but C++ itself is pretty C-ish... You know how they teach it these days?? They do half-n-half, you learn C, but with alot of C++ stuff... then there will be no transition :)
Dont spend too much time with C, just learn the basics and you already know the basics of C++, learn the datatypes and you are 10% there, then move on to C++. And do not forget the C-specific things that you have to know in order to improve your C++. It all comes down to: stick your head in C while you try out C++. They are essentially the same, nothing has changed, somethings have been added, so you are in good shape.
