I took a C class after tring C++ on my own. I tought C++ was newer and better. Actually I found it was only newer. It has new features and such, just not better because it was an extension or expansion to C. I don't use C++ so I am sure there are those that would say C++ is better, but I think it is only better if it suits the job better. I was told by a friend java is very close to C++ so it maybe a smart move, but anyone coming in fresh I would always recommend C first.
