C/C++

So my question is simple ; of the two which would be advisable to learn first.

All the C++ books tell me to learn C++ over C ,but on the internet im told that learning C gives better grasps of concepts.

Which should i learn first and why?

Yes, please do learn C++. That way there will be less competition for the jobs where I don't want to gouge out my eyeballs.

Also, people like >>17 will be your colleages. Just think of all the fun you can have!
