Nope, not true at all. With a knowledge of c (mostly K&R to boot), reading
and changing code in an audio application helped me to learn c++ (with
help from c++ references). SOmething I was unable to do using courses,
tutorials, books references, etc. (I tried). Not only that the c++ I
learned was not in any way to do with GUIs, yet with that start I was able
to then create my own projects in c++ with GUIs. Language is language,
sometimes things don't work the way that makes sense. I now choose c++
over c just for ease of debugging.... the other thing that helps with
learning is mistakes. Make lots of them and you will learn faster... well
I do anyway.
We all learn differently.
