19: Should I learn C before learning C++?
According to a number of C++ experts, including its creator Bjarne
Stroustrup, and Marshall Cline (the author of the C++ FAQ), the
answer is a firm no.
Look up the C++ FAQ to see why Cline thinks you do not need to
learn C before C++. A post by Bjarne Stroustrup to comp.lang.c++
addresses this point too.
"Learning Standard C++ as a New Language" - a paper by Stroustrup
available from -
examines this much-debated issue in great depth, but the paper is
aimed more at educators than at beginners.
I tend to agree, learning C first I think has greatly hindered my comprehension in C++ ( hard to teach an old dog new tricks) almost to the point that I wished I had learned C++ first instead.
