Of course, but i would suggest learning C first, the reasons being:
1. C is easier and simpler to work with.
2. C can be compiled with any compiler, including C++ compilers, whereas C++ can not be compiled in MPLAB, the compiler we are supposed to be using.
3. C is low level programming, meaning we can work directly with register values and do binary programming used widely in engineering type programming, which is what we are supposed to do. But C++ is a high level language mainly used to do programming for businesses.
C is really simple to use and their is a tonne of tutorials present for it, but if you need any specific help, PM me and ill do my best to help you out.
Best wishes
