C or C++ first (or SICP)?

So, I have to learn C++ for the job I'm going to do. I understand that it's a poorly put together language according to you guys, and that the best C++ programmers are people who have come from C. Taking that into account, should I learn C++ first, or C first, or read SICP first? As it is I know Fortran.

C++, C is not really necessary anymore.

If you need to learn C++ for your job, then learn C++.

If you learn C really well, you realized C++ and C are one and the same. If you learn C++ really well, then you do not know C. Can a man who has forgotten his father know himself?

SICP will always be a fruitful reading, but if you have urgency on learning C++, by all means go for that first.

C is a much, much simpler language, but I wouldn't know if it will be of service for you to learn it now; the memory management is way different, and there seems to be a lot of emphasis on not passing around regular pointers in C++. Just watch out on getting ensnared too much on their Object Oriented Design bullshit.

Ask on Stack Overflow for a more definite answer. I'm sure you'll find actual C++ programmers there who don't write just throw away-code (unlike most of the cannon-fodder rank game devs, as it seems).
