CallMeNeo8Ball: er... that's actually quite offensive and totally unnecessary. You sound like you were brought up in the McCarthy era. Have you ever been to China or have any Chinese friends?
I know you're just a kid joking around but you make me feel unwelcome and I just thought I'd let you know.

Going from C -> C++ isnt bad at all, I learnt C at my college and I spent about 2 months 25 hours a week at school learning it, now I am teaching myself C++ and its easy. There isnt that much to the C language compared the C++ which is alot. Also it depends how you like to program. If you think in objects then learn C++ so you can do that right away or you can think in structured code then learn C. Any language you learn will be easy to pick up, but C is less to learn. You will end up learning both languages withen a year anyway to just pick what one you will be more happy with.
If you do C first, then you dont need to learn the struct part of C++, so you can skip a lot of any C++ book, its just a few minor syntax changes. Then you learn objects and the other goodies that come with OOP. If you learn C then you will have less trouble reading code from other people like for linux or open source stuff, a lot of that is in C.
In short pick the language you think you would rather program in, and overall you should learn both languages faster then if you picked one that you didnt want to program for.

Hmmm... Great advice, since I am eventually getting Linux, I will deiffinately go with C, thanks :D
And to the guy who said the unecessary comments about Chinese Communism, man, that was very offensive. >:C I mean, I have a few friends who are Chinese American, so please, enough.
Of course that''''s just my opinion, I could be wrong. -)(-Dennis Miller-)(-
