You don't mention why you chose to program in C. You have plenty time to learn al the languages, so unless you have a good mentor or teacher, I'd suggest either LabVIEW or Java as your first FIRST language. They are much much more forgiving of mistakes, and have somewhat simpler syntax and concepts.

If you have access to the previous kit memory sticks and SW, you can get started. There are video tutorials on Ni.com/first and on frcmastery.com.
