- Knowledge or experience in C programming is not a prerequisite for learning C++. If your ultimate goal is to learn an object-oriented programming language like C++, then you don't need to start learning a procedural language like C.
- The current standard may or may not be immediately or completely supported by all popular compilers. Therefore, while it may be good to know of the newest additions to the standard from an academic point of view, one must remember that these additions are not a prerequisite to writing good, functioning C++ applications.
