Thanks for the advice, i don't kid myself. I know html isn't a programming language and i have always wanted to learn C anything but i never knew a good way to start, i started doing tutorials online one day and then got sidetracked and never went back.

You recommend a good program to start with? my issue was there are a million C compilers out there that i don't know what to use.
