Hi. Should I jump right into Java, or is it better to learn C first?

C will only slow down your learning curve of OOP because it's quite
procedural language. Java has the C-like syntax, but the syntax is the least
problem. Believe me, I hardly got used on OOP after few years in Visual
Basic programming.

Start Java with "Beginning Java 2" (Horton), "Thinking in Java" (Eckel) and
"The Java Tutorial" (Sun's website).
