Should I learn C++ first or C? I know C++ was derived from C. Does it not matter which is learnt first? Please advise

Its not necessary to know C first. It doesn't matter which is learnt first. I started with C++ & I know C too. If you know C++ then you can easily learn C.

It doesn't exactly matter which one you learn first, but C++ has evolved to become very different from C. To put it kindly, people are very divided about how good these changes actually are. Generally, if you're interested in application and game programming, C++ is a better choice, whereas C is better for systems-level concepts (though C++ uses those every now and then).
