I don't really know the differences between the two. I'd say learn C first. C++ uses C syntax as a base - it's a good idea to get an understanding of how C constructs work before going to C++. Encapsulation, information hiding etc are all great, but it's not much good if you don't have an understanding of what the basics are.
