Re: starting programing...

If you are looking for a good IDE/compiler that will let you play around on Windows and compile some C examples from tutorials I would go with Dev C++. It's a fairly straight forward IDE and uses a port of GCC. It can also compile C++, so you need to be careful about what code you are compiling and making sure it doesn't contain any C++.

If you are on Linux, theres nothing wrong with vi (or nano, or maybe even gedit if your feeling fancy) and GCC to test and compile code while your learning.

Best of luck!
Ken
