Okay i have only just become interested in programming c (i mean just this second) and i just want to know what i need to start (eg programs) and where i can get them and for how much?????

Also is it possible to make windows like in vb using c or c++?????

Oh one last thing where can i get basic tutorials on how to program useful c (when i say useful i mean not a program that adds 1 and 17 for example :o), )
Thanx
