And as far as learning C or C++ or C#, having learned C++ and looked over a lot of C and a fair share of C#, I'd say C++ would be the way to go. While all the Cs aren't the same, I'd have to agree they do have a lot in common. And it's not as big of a shift from one to the other once you learn one well, so rather than try to check out all 3, concentrate on just one and try to master it as much as possible.
This could also be affected by the fact that I learned VB inbetween C++ and C# so C# reminds me of an odd mix of the two. Anyway, if you want to learn a C, go with C++.
Two Things:
. Well, it turns out it has a lot of information in it that I didn't need to and didn't want to know, though I only made it through the first few chapters so far. Most of those things I see no possible way they can build on, such as different compilers like "GNU". In any case, they must really be books for dummies - and I thought it was a joke...
