Any valid C program is also a C++ program.
Not quite. Recent C standards (C99) are incompatible with the C++ standards. Certain C99 code will not compile on a C++ compiler.

None lol - just see C as a non-OO version of C++.
Any valid C program is also a C++ program.
Not really, the following:
#include <stdio.h>int main(){int new = 1;printf("New is %d\n",new);return 0;}is a valid C program but not a valid C++ program.
Apart from the regular nitpicking about minor incompabilities traditional software design is quite different in C, as well as idioms and best-practices. As always it's a good idea to know both approaches, whether it's worth the effort is another matter entirely..

what about c#
C# in my opinion is closer to Java than C++ or C.
C# is something quite different than C, atleast conceptually.
Its a youg language (even younger than Java I believe)
Personally I would choose to go with C/C++.
The vast majority of code is written in C/C++, and the young languages have not yet proven to survive as C/C++ has.
Thats my conservative opinion.

However, C# probably will survive as MS have started writing all their applications in it, and it is heading the .NET framework.
Managed C++ (which you will need to write applications in the future in) is just to support the old syntax, and it makes some tasks complicated and fiddly which in a langauge like C# are simple.
