I am wanting to learn C programming. Do I need to go school for this or I can learn at home. If I can that what is the best way? books,web? do I need special software?

You can definately learn it on your own. I would recommend you buy some books and get something to drink and sit down and read.

But sometimes not easy to understand the contents in the book especially beginner with no programming background.

But thats what the forums are for didi


Anyway, learn C on your own... if you want java, though, I recommend a class (no pun intended )

Is there any sites that will teach how to program, if so wat are they

Some useful sites I found to learn C programming are:

Tutorials:
http://cplus.about.com/library/blctut.htm
http://www.juicystudio.com/tutorial/c/index.asp
http://www.cprogramming.com/ (Although this site mostly deals with C++)

Another useful site is:
http://planetsourcecode.com/
Which has lots of useful code samples for you to check out and learn from.

Hope that helps a little.

i would recommand you practice C as well after reading Tuto and arcticles on C. i mean, install a prog like DevC++ or VC++ and test applications on it.

Do u know where to get the tools to test the application? i got turbo C++ 4.5, but not very good running on my Win xp Pro.
