19 Should I learn C before learning C++?

According to a number of C++ experts, including its creator Bjarne Stroustrup, and Marshall Cline (the author of the C++ FAQ), the answer is a firm no.

Look up the C++ FAQ to see why Cline thinks you do not need to learn C before C++. A post by Bjarne Stroustrup to comp.lang.c++ addresses this point too. http://www.research.att.com/~bs/learn.html

Jono,
I think is not a polite practice to put commercial links in your signature.
We will appreciate if you remove them.
Thanks
