Yeah, C++ is different than C, but I think you should get both a C and a C++ book. Most C++ books only cover the differences between C and C++, and you are left out in the cold if you don't know C. Also, when trying to understand what other people are talking about, they might use a C reference and you won't know what they are talking about. So 1) Get a C book and learn all you can about C 2) Get a C++ book and learn all you can about C++ 3) Program in C++ Trying to learn C++ without knowing C is kind of tough, because C++ is simply an extention of C. It would be like seeing a sequel to a movie without seeing the first one. One you become familiar with the C way of doing stuff, understanding the concepts behind C++ becomes quite easy.
