Do you really need to?
I had no idea what C/C# was when I first started learning Objective-C, and I still don’t feel comfortable with C/C#, but I am almost finished on my second iPhone App allready, without knowing C.
I know that Objective-C is based on C/C# (deep down), but still.
Do you think you really need to learn C/C# before learning Objective-C?
Well, if you are already developping applications in Objective-C without knowing C, I’d say you already know the answer to your question 😉
Even if C is some kind of father for many languages, I don’t really think it’s necessary to learn C before learning those — and, in fact, I know many people who code in PHP, JAVA, Objective-C, … and are good at what they do… without knowing anything about C.
What matters is what you do ; C is just one language, and languages are generally not the important thing ; algorithms are quite often considered as more important, for example.
