I'm only speaking from my personal experience. C was the first language I learned indepth and it helped me approach programming problems in a more structured manner in other languages I'm learning such as Perl and CLLE (iSeries development) because I got into the habit of modularizing my programs. If this is not a good thing, then I don't know what is. I'm currently learning C++ right now and feel the knowledge of C really helped the transition to object oriented programming. If you guys learned to program using other languages first and found that to be good then by all means give that suggestion. I'm not here to knock anyone because of what language they think is the best to learn first. Everybody has an opinion.
