Well I think that in the process of learning C++ you WILL learn C... like it or not, perhaps not architecuture but certainly syntax.

I'd recommend picking up a good book on C++, you're going to have tough going learning from a web site.

These days I think the majority of programmers can do just fine never having learned non-oop programming. Sure those of us who do embedded work will need ot learn C (umpteen variants of C in fact), but we also usually need to know assembler... and I doubt that many programmers use assembler EVER, the lastest gen. of optimizing compilers are tough to beat.

As for myself, I don't do much C++ programming anymore. Embedded work is typically C, high level work is C#.
