Hmm... I would suggset learning C first because it has the same syntax
as C++, it's quite functional, you'll have to learn it anyway, and you
don't have to worry about classes. Plus, even if you do get a C++ book,
it will probably say something to the extent of "make sure you know C
before starting this book" in the introduction. Such is the case for
C++ For Dummies. C For Dummies would probably be a good place to start.
Once you're done with both volumes of those, I would suggest writing
some applications in C before moving on to C++ For Dummies. I think the
Dummies series are great - they're the only programming books I can
read in one sitting! >:) Personally, I hate the Sams books... the ones
like "Learn C in 21 days". Ugh. But that's just my opinion... others
have found those quite helpful. Good luck! :)

Cheers,
