To become good at any programming language you need two things:
1) a good book to start with
2) a lot of practice

The best book I've ever read on C is "The C programming Language" by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie.
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cbook/

You need to practice and for that you need at least a C compiler or better, the whole IDE. Simple and free IDE is
DevCPP:
http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html
It's free and it's based on a port of gcc, so it's a good quality compiler.

And don't listen to those who say that you don't need to know C -- if you want to be really good, start with C programming, than move to C++ and then to other, more OO programming languages (Java, C#).

Good luck!

Get yourself a good book like The C Programming Language by Kerninghan and Ritchie...and also start programming on your computer with the help of the book

why would you want to? learn an object oriented language like java, C# or C++


edit: and Kris, NO it is not a good idea for people to first learn a language like C these days, many programmers pick up bad habits from a procedural language like C, it's better to start from the very beginning with an object oriented language like Java or C#.

Purchase Microsoft Visual C++ the latest version, the cheapest one you can find (probably the student version). Then go to your local city library and get as many books on C and C++ as you can find, and read them cover to cover. This is how I learned, and I can do anything you could think of in C or C++. Its so easy to learn when you have multiple text books to refrence from when learning. Also, google C++ tutorial, and you can find many text-file tutorials that are often times BETTER then textbooks, so.. once you purchase the compiler, you can learn for free by using library books and online tutorials. Good luck...
