I know a little of C++ and VERY little C, but i would like to know which one would be better to start with? I heard some people say C is better than C++ and some say C is better to learn first because it will help you when you move onto C++. Its a tough decision... so..

C
or
C++?

Reasons would be nice, not just one sentenced answers.

Also, im running Ubuntu Linux, do you have any ideas on compilers, or things i can open .c files with? Because it is very very annoying to right click, open with... scroll -> text editor....

so instead i can go Click and then C compiler comes up (Doesnt have to be a compiler, just a better viewer) (or maybe even a way to set text editor as a default way to open .c)

I've personally tested out: Eclipse and KDevelop

KDevelop was pretty nice, very complete, and pretty easy to use. Eclipse was more professional looking and seemed to be made for something specific. Both worked fine for me though, so I can't really say either was better.

C++.

Object Oriented > Non-object oriented

I would learn only C, because I don't really like OOP.. And if you learn C++ and then you decide yo don't like OOP you will get confused because you'll use things that are part of C++ and not C. Just find what you like..

well seeing how it is easy to go from C++ to C, and C is Harder to go to C++.

Plus C++ > C

So i say you learn C++

well i decided on C as the language that i will learn.then i may, or probably will, move onto C++ as the project nears completion.

Anyone know how to make it so it auto opens .c/.h files with Kdevelop?

Sorry, don't know about ubuntu.. XD
Though my friend uses it..

There must be an option in KDevelop.. If there isn't, create a .c file, hold shift and click on it with the right mouse button, and choose "Open with...", choose KDevelop and tick "Always open this kind of file with this software blablablablabla". Well, at least it's like this for windows..
