Have you programmed in any other languages in the past? If so, learning c will be a hell of alot easier.

Best way to start would be by reading up on some basics first, install a compiler and try things out. Then read more and more and keep trying

Alot of tutorials on this website

Why do you want to learn C specifically, and not some other language?

You may need C for a certain job requirement, maybe for low-level stuff, or maybe for the experience of learning it.

But if you're just looking for a general programming language to do everyday programming with, you really should look into alternatives.

Ok, I wont make myself very popular with this one, but as a real endoctrinated Microsoftie ... i like c# a lot ... certainly with the dotnet framework 2.0 and visual studio 2005 ... I feel really at ease in that environment ... hogh level, low level or no level :-)

I think c is a good language to start off with. It isnt the easiest language to learn, but you can do alot more with it than stuff like crappy visual basic etc. But personally I think you should start off learning java. Its object oriented, which is the direction most programming languages are going these days. C++ is object oriented aswell.

Once you've done the hard work with c and java, theres not many languages you will find hard to learn after that.

As toelover said, c# is easy to work with since microsoft caters to n00bs. But if you want to stay ahead of the game, c, c++ and java are the way to go first off.
