I have just caught up with this particular thread and thought
to add my 2 cents.  In a way of background, I have programmed
in Pascal, Fortran, Assembler, C, COBOL and eventually C++
(not a complete list but in chronological order).  I use both
C and C++ languages as appropriate to the nature of the
problem.  It is possible to learn C++ without any additional
background in C or Assembler, however without the background
in C and Assembler you have fewer choices in how things can
be implemented because your understanding is more limited.
I have noticed that I program in a variety of styles in C and
C++, again, as appropriate to the nature of the problem; the
choices I have in approaching the problem come from my under-
standing of the languages and the underlying machine environ-
ment (operating system and all other software/hardware layers
in between).  Someone with just C++ will only have OOP
and OOD choices in how they approach a problem.

So, in attempt to sum up my position, learn C or C++ first
because either language will allow you to program.  In time,
learn the other language because it will increase the number
of choices you have in solving problems.
