- Reading: Best place to start learning C++?
So before you bigots start blasting me for not using Google or Youtube before posting such a question. I'm curious to know what /g/ thinks about my question since you guys are meant to be... experienced.
Learn java, progress to C++.
Using java is great for learning because the compiling is minimal meaning you can easily test tiny changes to the code.
Furthermore, hotswapping code is possible, meaning that you can change code to see what changes as you do it.
Finally, Java and C++ are relatively similar (inb4 /g/entlemen go nuts) and are easy to learn from the other.

If your final goal is C++, do not learn anything else. Start with that.

this. especially do not start with C first before C++ if C++ is you're goal.
guys who do this are never able to write good C++.
First i would read the tutorial section on
c plus plus . com
Get an idea about the basics.

ask /dpt/ or google
If I learn C# first, will it just mess me up for C++?
C# is a required intro class at my community college's IT course, so should I bumrush C++ before next fall?

No, you should be fine. Just be aware when you're ready later to learn C++, that while much of the syntax may look similar, they are quite different languages.
You will suddenly be required to actually understand the irl underpinnings of much of the 'magic' you were taught to accept in C# as some mysterious force that's just there. Same effect you'd have learning Java as a first language then C++.

Heh, I'm not sure you understand the term very well, but you could get through much of this book

over the summer if you really wanted to. You'd be much better prepared for C# (and programming in general) if you did so anon.
