    I'm about as new as you can getin programming.  I have just started
my C for Dummies book.  I hope to excel far beyond that, but this is it
so far.  I was told to learn C then C++ as they are supposedly the
money makers.  Is this true?  If not, what do I really want to learn
then.  I will be taking a vocational course on programming soon, but
they dont focus much on C at all.  Any hints or suggestions?  Thanks in
advance.
