Start Programming In C

[Soda_Popinsky]

Yeah, the bloodshed compiler on download.com, and codewarrior are both good for beginners, they highlight different types of code, variables and comments and such

No Visual C for Linux. However you if you give the latest KDevelop (GIDEON) a chance and learn how to use it,
you will get what I think you are asking for.

I would be commiting a cardinal Unix-hacker sin if I didn't at least suggest that you give emacs a try and learn
to write your own emacs-lisp customizations for it.

Edit: fixed the KDevelop link

A good book that I read a few weeks ago that was good was "A Book on C" by Ira Pohl. If you want to get books on it I would suggest hitting the library up, especially if you live in a city. Another good place is the bargain bins at local bookstores, the basics of C have been the same for a while, older books on it are still good. I picked up a copy of C Unleashed for $7 US. I would also suggest looking in the tutorials forum.

Hope this helps.

First of all do not ever question the usefulness of C/C++ as programming languages.They r 2 good & if u perfect it u can do anything u want on a pc from a genius software 2 ur own destructive virus.But 4 now i'll tell u to concentrate on basic commands,stuctures,functions etc.The things u wanted 2 make will come by.Tutorials on programmingtutorials.com r quite good.
Good luck

I bought the SAMS book "teach yourself C in 21 days". Using the bloodshed editor/compiler is a great help. (it took 14 days to get through the first 7 days in the book.)

I don't necessarily have to program, I just want to have clue when I read someone else's source.

Would you recommend learning C, or C++. What is better? I always thought that newer would be better.

I'm learning C using a C++ compiler (bloodshed). Learning C won't be a waste of time you can progress right into C++.
