Help with starting C Programming

Ok /prog/, I've decided that I want to learn C, but I have no real clue where to start. It will be the first OO language that I actually learn all the way through actually, although I have had some experience playing with Python, Ruby, and a few other languages. What I really want to do eventually is get into basic game programming.

So what I need to know is, where should I start.
Which version of C should I use?
Any Helpful Tutorials?
Also, which editors/compilers does /prog/ recommend?
I use Notepad++ when I do HTML/PHP but that's about it.

It will be the first OO language that I actually learn all the way through
C isn't OO. Perhaps you mean C++?

Which version of C should I use?
ANSI C. It's the most interoperable and everybody knows it.

Any Helpful Tutorials?
The C Programming Language. Learn from the best.

Also, which editors/compilers does /prog/ recommend?
Vim, GCC (MinGW, since you're on Windows). If you hate the Vi editing model, try Scite.

Get unix, get gcc and vim.
There are no versions, only standards.
There are 4 standards, C89 (ANSI), C90 (ISO), C95 and C99.
What you want to learn is C99, but to code in C89.
Kinda complicated, get K&R and the C99 standard and start reading.
When you are finished, start reading about algorithms, data structures, physics and mathematics, and then SDL & OpenGL/AL manuals.

Its 2008, nobody uses C anymore.

Knowing only the Scheme from SICP, I don't know a thing about classes. Will K&R enlighten me?

C doesn't have classes because C isn't OO.

Knowing only the BBCode from 4chan, I don't know a thing about classes. Will Master Kernighan enlighten me?

Knowing only the Scheme from SICP, I don't know a thing about classes. Will K&R enlighten me?
No, SICP does not teach Scheme and K&R does not teach programming.
K&R teaches the language C89.

Bullshit, but I think you weren't serious because it's the first day of 2008.. anyway

>>6
Haskell has classes, amirite?

>>9
Typeclasses, yeah. They have nothing to do with OO classes, though.

OP Here, thanks for all the help, anyone got an ebook version of the above listed book?

I meant C and not C++, I thought C was OO though.

I know several people who still use C to write scripts. Also, isn't the fucking linux kernal written entirely in C?

Thanks /prog/

>>11
Pretty much every OS ``kernal'' is written in C.

>>11
C scripts? what is that moron?
K&R http://www.ifp.tuwien.ac.at/institut/lva/skripten/134.121%20Datenverarbeitung%20fuer%20Physiker%20I/C%20Programming%20Language.pdf
ISO C99 http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf

NOW GTFO ``kernal''.

PDF sucks for ebooks, so here's K&R in HTML.

MOTHERFUCKER, I NEED YOU TO BE A REASONED SCHEMER

>>14
Are you fucking kidding me? After you said ``PDF sucks'' I was expecting PostScript or sometinh, but, BAM, HTML came crashing down like a god-damn meteor.

# Ooops! If x*y isn't 8, amb would

amb if x*y != 8

I feel the need, the need for weed!

Marijuana MUST be legalized.
