C++ is really neat. I only know very basics, but as far as I can tell, C++ is very object oriented. You can make "blocks" of functions/commands within other blocks. When you first start learning C++ you'll likely first learn the basic input/output system and how to structure commands and so on.
I was reading "How to program with C++" By John Smiley. That book is interesting because it's like you were in a C++ class. The book is in question and answer kinda format almost like a story of how the class learned to program with C++ and you learn along.

C++ was made as an improvement to the C language... I know neither language but, I would go for the C first....
They are really the same language. C++ is an extension of C.
I had a book that was pretty good. It was blue...said something about C on the cover..not much help I know. I'll post the title when I find it.

ok thanks, well i did go out and get c++ for dummies and made my first small program!so now i have to continue reading...
btw visual studios is imposable to navagate
You don't like Visual Studio? It took me maybe a month to get into it, I like it... It's pretty good to be produced by MS, I might have figured VS would be condensed until it was idiotic.
I will tell you of a language that I would like to study, C#, I looked through a bit of it a while back and it makes pretty good sense. But, this is beyond the point...

Anything that you can do in C you can do in C++, therefore starting with C is a waste of time.
EDIT: More info on c++
Many of the current games are programmed in c++ (for example, WOW) It is a fairly efficient program with syntax similar to Java. C++ is probably the most common language used commercially.
