Well, I'm the same position that you are.  Today I just bought a package called the " C Programming
Starter Kit".  I figure I should learn C first.  At least that is what I have read.  I'm also enrolling in
a C++ class at my local Junior College next semester.  This Starter Kit comes with an abbreviated
version of C called Turbo C Lite.  Enough of the engines are included to do the exercises in the book.
It cost $29.95 at CompUSA.  Hope that helps.

I recommend a book called WORKOUT C (or C WORKOUT).  It is packed with
hundreds of working 'chunks' of code, it comes witha small DOS C compiler and
is VERY well written.  I hated C until I read this book.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to start learning C
and ultimately C++ programming language(Books, Classes, Etc.)?  I would
appreciate any advice.
