Hi. Should I jump right into Java, or is it better to learn C first?
I'm not a total beginner; I know Javascript, but I obviously would like
to learn a more powerful language.

Thanks,

I'd go with Java first. Java was not out when I got into this business,
so I did C, C++, Smalltalk, REXX and the like. C++ and Smalltalk helped
me understand Objects. If you begin with C you are going to get a wakeup
call once you start with Java, because you would be unfamiliar with
object technology. OO is about half of mastering Java, IMHO.
