I would suggest C before C++.  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.
