Learn C first, its a subset of C++ and its perfectly adequate for QAD
pgms. C++ is a different way of thinking than C, so you can't
just start writing C++ code like you would C. 

Its really worth knowing the mentality of a C programmer, even if you never
plan to write pure C code, its certainly not a boring process :-)

PS . Personally I think C is one of the simplest and most elegant languages
     ever designed, Von Neumann would have loved it. However 
     paradigms(apols for the buzzword) are shifting, so C's time is limited.
