Jack,
Yes, an Arduino programmer should understand that "Serial.print()" is trying to access the print() function in the Serial library.
But that will eventually sink in even if the new programmer did not read the above sentence.?

I suggest he start out by learning C.
If so inclined, he can then try out C++.?

Yes, you do need to figure out a bit of C++ if you want to understand ArduinoLand libraries.
But you don't need to understand those libraries when starting out with programming under Arduino.
I have absolutely no use for the complications of C++ on a machine with 2k of RAM,?
it just gets in the way of figuring out how all the time/RAM/Flash has gotten eaten up.
That said, your book comes highly recommended.
And likely gives a good introduction to C++ for those so inclined.
Sounds like just about the right level of exposure.
