I learned C first, but I don't think it matters greatly.  I do however 
strongly recommend a book that will teach you C++ with *no* C knowledge 
necessary:

"Object Oriented Programming in Microsoft C++"
Robert Lafore
The Wait Group Press, 1992
US$ 29.95,  Aust$ 59.95

Don't worry about the 'Microsoft' in the title, I use borland too, the 
book only says this because it has a chapter on graphics using the 
microsoft graphics (similar to bgi) and a chapter on using the Microsoft 
Foundation Class library.  It is *the best* learn to program book, I have 
ever read: 750 pages of *easy* reading.  If you would rather learn C first, 
the author (Robert Lafore) has a book on this only, I haven't read that 
one, but it has been recommended by others.
