C or C++ as a second language?

[Tony Polson]

Hi. Should I jump right into C++, or is it better to learn C first?
I'm not a total beginner; I know Javascript, but I obviously would like
to learn a more powerful language.

Thanks,

TP

Note to newbies (and the unobservant!):

Please note that the above is just flame bait. The followups in the
original message demonstrate this. No point replying to his nonsense.

Jump right into C++. Only learn C if you want to learn C.

Obviously. Why you set your follow-ups to photography newsgroups is
still a mystery though. Trolling?

Hmm, this smells like a troll.

Note the followups set by the OP:
rec.photo.digital,rec.photo.equipment.35mm

What origininal message?

Oh, okay, you obviously have better filters than me. Sorry for the
noise.

It has nothing to do with filters. You changed the Subject header of
the message, and some newsreaders, like Outlook Express, do not put it
in the same thread. They make it seem that you started another thread.
Just FYI...

Hmm...nope. Original post not here. Maybe it hasn't arrived yet. Or
maybe Tony is a well known troll and has gotten himself deleted from
newsservers.

I didn't realize OE was that bad. So it is too stupid to follow
the references chain?

No, works just fine.

I don't think "stupid" is applicable to programs. Software cannot
be smart or stupid, it only does what it's designed and programmed
to do, and always _precisely_ that.

The problem is that between people accessing Usenet via "Google" and via
various MS products, very few people actually use newsreaders anymore.

Maybe if those of us that do use newsreaders all insisted on *only*
posting in ROT13, it would run all the others off after a while, as
they got tired of seeing all the "line noise", then we could be
back to Usenet of 10 years ago.

OE has ROT13 decoding, and also correctly handles threading of posts with
renamed subjects.

Ironically, Mozilla Thunderbird, my normal reader, doesn't.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (Debian version) and it correctly
associated his message to the right topic.

Netscape 4.75 does. Very awkward to generate it though.
