- IMHO, you need not learn C first. In actual fact, you are probably
- better off to learn C++. C is programmed using the procedural pardigm
- while C++ embraces, if not enforces, OOP programming methods.
-
- As far as learning from a book goes, it is not a bad way if you are
- the type of person capable of learning in this manner. It does help,
- however, if you can find someone to mentor for you that has the
- experience with the language necessary to help you with some of the
- more difficult aspects of the language.
