| To answer the original poster's question:
Start with a solid foundation. Start with learning C. C++'s strength lies in development and maintenance of large and complex modular systems, where code reusability is of paramount importance. Many people programming in C++ (I don't call them C++ programmers) either program "C with classes" or tend to abstract way too much, bloating the code and degrading readability. Finding the thin line in the middle of those two extremes is a matter of many years of experience. |
