Learn C and you're journey to the dark side will be complete.

Seriously... C is useful, C++ is not probably suitable (he gets ready
to be shot down in flames). My experience is C++ is an object based
'upgrade' of C and tends to bloat memory usage.
YES I have coded in both.
I would suggest C would be better suited to the new 18 series PICs
coming out and not the existing units unless code portability was a
major consideration.
