I'm not new to programming but will start learning C#. Its a great compilation you have put together. But its not possible for me to stay online for so long. Could you please giv me a link to download that book as pdf or some other book?

sourav, could you please update the thread. There are even more languages and other good books out there. This thread is sticky man and you have to monitor it regularly.

Here is a wonderful list..

Hi Sourav
I am a complete novice to programming and want to learn C. I have the following books: SAMS C in 21 days, C for Dummies and Let Us C. Some queries:
1. Where can I get a compiler that is easy to install and run?
2. Can you suggest any other really simple books/CDs to learn C from?
3. What is the general impression of SEED Infotech's (Pune) modular courses in the C language?

Thanks a ton in advance. BTW, I assemble my own gaming rigs so am not a total stanger to PCs only to programming... I would be really grateful if you could write to me at mvjoshi69@gmail.com

Regards,

Maneesh

Hello Manish
First post...Welcome to the forums...

I assume you use Microsoft Windows OS. I suggest you the mingw compiler. It's gcc for Windows and is one of the best.
*www.mingw.org/

Since you want an easy to use program, I guess you mean an IDE.
I suggest you Geany. It's easy to use and supports a variety of languages.
*www.geany.org/
*www.geany.org/Support/RunningOnWindows

When you have both installed post again and I will tell you how to set up Geany for compiling C.

Best of Luck.

is it possible to learn programming on our own..i mean without going to any training institute..at home?will books & tutorials be enough?if it is possible, how should one proceed?

Yes. Most definitely.
You need for learning C:
(1) A computer with an OS like Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, OSX, etc.
(2) A compiler, Use a modern compiler. See my above post.
(3) Look for resources for learning C. The OP has few resources.
(4) And don't hesitate in asking questions if you have doubt (in this forum for eg.)

If you are new to programming and dont have compulsion for C/C++(for eg. in a course), I strongly suggest you learn Python instead of C. After you learn Python then go for C.

------------------
About setting up Geany for C in Windows:
Open Geany.
Create a New File.
Save it as anyfile.c (you can have any name but keep .c as extension)
Now Go To Build->Set Includes and Arguments.
Now Set the following fields as:
Compile: gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic -c "%f"
Build: gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic "%f" -o "%e.exe"
Execute: "./%e"

Now you can use F8 key to compile, F9 to make and F5 to execute.

P.S. The -ansi and -pedantic options are not required as such unless you want strict ANSI compliance, You can do away with them.

thanx..i have no compulsion..i am currently learning animation & vfx...wanted to learn programming for my own interests.so i think i'll go with python.what are the skills required for learning programming?i have completed my 12th in science but i am average in mathematics.

 

[Liverpool_fan]

You need no skills only interest. Maths is certainly not a compulsion

 

[Deleted member 26636]

thanx again.
