- It is not as important to learn another language first as much as it is
- to learn the basic principles of computer programming.

- Yes, and no. The C syntax is very much a part of C++, so knowing C first
- is helpful in that respect. However, C does not directly support
- object-oriented programming, so if your goal is to learn C++/OOP, then
- don't learn "C programming" first, but learn OOP and then C++.
