What's the software that PC needed if I as a 'C' beginner programmer want to build a simple program?

It depends on the target platform that you want to develop for.





If you want to develop linux applications, gcc is a great c compiler that is free.





If you want a free compiler for windows, I would use Visual Studio 2005 Express edition which is free from Microsoft.





This software and many training videos are available at this site.

A 'C' compiler.
Reply:you need a C or C++ compiler. There are several to choose from but they all do the same thing. I personally prefer Borland Turbo C++.
Reply:why c? why dont u try C++ ????.. any way ...you can use Microsoft visual c++ ... it is okay. you have many choices... the 2005 version...is free I think?!
Reply:You need a C compiler. There are seve4ral free ones available. The gnu compiler collection http://gcc.gnu.org/ for windows is rated very high. and if you want to target an embedded machine check out Small-C http://foldoc.org/foldoc.cgi?Small-C
Reply:I use Microsoft Visio
Reply:This will get you started with C, C++ and/or Objective-C for free.
