What are the advantages of learning C before learning the other languages?

Answer 1

You will get a firm grasp of procedural programming which is a fundamental programming paradigm, you will get a firm grasp of pointers, you will gain a firm grasp of C syntax which is the basis for many other languages. Lastly you will have learned C which is still in wide spread use for operating systems, drivers, virtual machines and performance critical software. After almost 4 decades C is still going strong.

Answer 2

What is the advantage of learning ABCD.. Before learning Sentence?

You should have knowledge about programming from A to Z and in between A -> to - > Z you have to work for your choice of language.

Today's Languages are like higher technology and getting easy and easy, but if you start directly today's language then you will not understand them properly ( You will have to remember only, that means YOU CANT DO ENGINEERING) so you have to learn those things from what this technology born.

thats why you should learn C :)

Answer 3

I disagree. I don't think there is any value in learning C. C++ is the evolution of C, and I personally would not want to work in an environment that only supports C and not at least C++.

If you learn C++, you will learn everything there is to know about C, plus you won't waste your time working in a language that is not object-oriented. All mainstream languages are object-oriented for a reason: it's a significantly better way to program. The most popular languages around are object oriented: C++, VB.NET, C#, Java, etc.

Depending on what kind of software you want to develop, you may want to consider VB.NET or C# or even Java. Most software jobs are going to use those languages, or C++. But C++ is the hardest of the four, and VB.NET is probably the easiest (C# is close). If you are a Microsoft fan, go with VB.NET or C#. If you aren't, Java is a good way to go.
