Hi Riaz, I am now working in JAVA but previous to that I was a corporate trainer teaching C and C++. As far as my personal experience goes, I feel C to be the best language to learn first. Although it has a steep learning curve, it is never going to be obsolete! Think about the classical case of memory leaks. Now ask a JAVA guy what's this all about? He would simply say that VM manages it automatically :-) But, if you came from the *malloc *(memory allocation technique in C) world you will have a deeper understanding of the memory problems. This example is just a tip of an iceberg. I personally feel, you can learn a lot more in C the intricacies of programming compared to JAVA. And yes, C belongs to the stone age..because from stone age all the later ages (C++, JAVA, C#...) emerged.. that's why some say C to be the mother of all modern computer languages!!!
