if someone know any guides to c programing. i need help the only thing i know how to do is to get the computer to print stuff out. i want to know how to get it to display stuff on screen.
Your best bet is to start with something simple. Java maybe, that has lots of tutorials. C was born in the 80's so its very old. Still, very useful. But its also hard, and isn't Object Oriented. C++ would then go after Java, then last C if you feel the need to learn it
It seems you've already met the venerable printf(). What is it you want to do? Create windows, etc.? If so, you will either need a lot of patience with C/C++ or do as Swan suggests and move into Java or Python.
Perhaps you can take a peek at XUL or the new Adobe AIR if you are more familiar with web programming.
dont listen to swan. swan, are you insinuating that C is not a simple language and that Java is? oh boy, dear child you must be confused. C is not a hard, as that was the first programming language i learned. and there would be no need to learn C after learning Java and no need to learn C++ after learning Java either. get your facts straight. don't tell someone something you don't know about.
