The difference between them is that the visual compiler lets u create windows based applications easily while the borland compiler creates dos based applications.
A very good book " Let Us C " by an indian author Yashwant Kanitkar can be helpful or any basic C title by famous author Robert Lafore is good for a start.

Cheers

thanks for the tip.
well anyway i tried this two but I think
using Visual C++ is good but I think borland is a good one two
but visual is still the best for me.

"A Book on C" by Ira Pohl and Al Kelley is a realy good book, if you'd ask me..

I'd advice to stay away from VisualC++'s MFC's .. they'll harm your mental workings..
And might make you think all C++ program code sucks as much as the MFC based ones do..
(Same can be said for Borlands VCL btw..)

gcc is the real mans C compiler..

well the only sites i know are mentioned here

but i have an advise :

open the C libraries such as stdlib.h and stdio.h, conio.h ...

and read the functions inside and learn how to use them

thats how i gained my experience in C

[Dia_Byte]

yeh and as the_JinX said stay away from MFC they are useless learn using API in C and you will do fine

tell you the truth C is a hard language to start with, but i learned it first by mistake !!!

if you want you can start with PERL then move to C ,

PERL will make programming easier for you in C believe me i tried ...

Did someone say perl? haha

It depends, I am a big advocate of learning perl. I love the language, but it is not always best to learn it.

I say if you are going to do C, learn C, and then learn perl, you will appreciate it more.

Oh and Dia_Byte, it is not PERL, it is Perl, or perl.
