Dev-C++ can do C code and compilation with the MingW suite.

You could use Code::Blocks, Visual Studio, CodeLite, and other IDE's.

Or you could use a text editor and gcc for compiling.

Most IDE's that compile C++ also compile C natively.

Use Visual Studio C++ Express Edition 2008. Unless of course you can get the full version. 2010 is out, but honestly I still can't get it to run quite as good as 2008.

Indeed. And don't let the Visual Studio C++ Express scare you. It is also a fully featured C environment.

I personally enjoy gedit and gcc when I program in C but seeing as thbp is a Winblows guy VSC++ is probably the best bet.

On another note, you've been learning C++ for the time I've known you. You may want to stick to C++ as it's a little friendlier to people first starting out. I know most people say learn C first but it is truly unforgiving and easily throws beginners off track.

Nowadays, C and C++ should both be considered as completely different languages, rather than as the latter being a subset of the former. It's perfectly acceptable to say they have similar concepts and syntax, but so do most other modern-day programming languages.

NetBeans and Eclipse both offer powerful development environments for C and C++.

I use both actually Both nix and Windows (more windows though) but i'm currintly investing into Apple MacBook and Ipod. for the fact that school wise some of the teachers will send me files via internet and i have to open them in my Abi word and stuff no big deal it's not hard at all, just i feel it'd be easier sometimes to just have a mac book for school. So i can easily on the fly take it and do presentations with there Apple products there

But isn't qt really geared more towards C++?
