This ever happen to you?

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

I have read programming books where they resaying that you need to know C before learning C++, and books where theyre saying you need to jump immediately to C++, that C is obsolete.
I think that C++ is for people who work in the programming field, and C is for those who make technologies. :idea:

As with 99.999999% of things... the truth is somewhere in the middle. Learn them both at the same time and let one complement your learning of the other.

Personally, I'd say learn C first so you have an idea of the High-Level foundations you are programming on.

I learned C++ first, and whenever I program in C (i.e. most of my programming.) I have very strong OOP tendencies.

The thing is, I can't say that I love OOP all that much. (I don't hate it, but I don't obsess over it.)

Learn a little C (stdio.h, functions, variables, etc) then go straight to C++?
