Hey,
I've programmed in Delphi, PHP, Javascript, Java and Flash before I started learning C++.
Having some knowledge in other programming languages is really usefull, because all programming languages are much alike, small differences in syntax is almost everything you need to know :P
I'm reading 2 books at the moment. They're dutch books, but if you know some programming languages, cheapest is trying to teach yourself. Read a book about C.
Rent a book at the local library and try it. If it doesn't work you can still go to class... But first try the cheapest way, it never hurts trying :P
