RE: Before I learn C++
Well tbh i think you should start off with C because that will help you to learn C++, C++ is a advanced version of C hence you should learn C
EDIT: verstion to version, I hate you Lou!

Completely the opposite...
By the way, start off with DevCPP over VCPP any day. Spoiler: the game.

what are you talking about ShawnZ the complete oppsite so you should learn the advance stuff before the basic stuff then you wont know whats its all about. Think about it this way do you first learn how to speak basic english or learn how to write a persuasive essay 1000 words and with no spelling mistakes without using a computer? exsactly

it's an improved version of c. if you start off by learning C, you'll get used to the old C mentality and all the power of C++ will be lost (mainly OOP, but also other the other small advantages of C++ will not be noticed) |

RE: Before I learn C++
He's talking about compiler, not the language itself... Both DevCPP and Visual Studio compile C and C++.
Anyway, I suggest you use Visual Studio (what you referred to as VC++.NET), I prefer it over DevCPP.
EDIT: Just think of C++ as C with OOP (classes, specifically). It doesn't matter which you start with as long as when you need it, you learn OOP.

The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true. |

RE: Before I learn C++
VC++.NET is the MS devkit, so is probably more suited to Windows development than Dev-C++, which doesn't come with a Windows SDK.
As for whether to learn C or C++ first, please, please, learn C first! It'll teach you how to handle pointers properly (and the Win32 API is in C).
C++ is more typesafe, but C forces good programming technique, otherwise it all goes wrong.
