+1 to this. i wish i had learned high-level programming first. beginning with C is an archaic educational model imo.
it's like, if the final goal is to be an awesome racecar driver, you should get in a car and start driving on day one, not learn about how engine's work first.
My univ started us out with C++ (computer sci 1 & 2), and I've heard numerous times that it by far harder than the other two.. I guess it will prep me for using C# in industry? =\

Well the oop features of course applies in C# as well, but there are greater differences between C++ and C# than there is between C# and Java. But learning C# after you've learned C++ should be fairly simple

yeah C++ is much more complex than C and much harder and less pleasant to work with than Java, I assume the same is true of C#. With C++ you get all the learning curve of OOP, but still have to manage your memory. Plus it's just a massive language with so many facilities. It's really sort of ridiculous to learn as a first language in this day and age.
