I'm feeling highly ambitious right now.
I'm feeling up to making a game from scratch.
And I'm feeling a need... To learn!

So, anyone know the best tutorial to teaching me to program in C?

Here's one in C++.
http://www.intap.net/~drw/cpp/

But, I'd reccomend PHP first, as it's structures (if, while, for) are exactly like those of C.

Interesting tutorial
I don't know how to program in C++, so it is useful to me
I want to signal that there are two errors in the glossary:
... gnu C++ compiler. This free compiler is frequently used on machines running the UNIX operating system.

"UNIX operating system" must became "UNIX-like operating systems"

UNIX
... A shareware version of this operating system, Linux, runs on the IBM compatible PC.

"shareware" must become "freeware" or "GPL"

EDIT: Note that PHP is not for games, is for web scripting!

C++ is not something you download, it's a programming language..


You CAN however buy Microsoft Visual C++ for about a million dollars (exaggeration) or download Dev C++ which sucks..


Talk to me on IRC if you want VC++ ^_~.

@SRB2-Playah
Download Mingw (http://mingw.sourceforge.net) that contains free c and c++ compiler (GCC and G++) and doesn't sucks
Later download Allegro (http://allegro.sourceforge.net) or SDL (http://libsdl.org)
Learn SDL or Allegro and start programming your game

EDIT:
@Shuffle:
what does mean "contact me if you want VC++ ^_~"? warez?

For SRB2-Playah:
I don't know the files you have to download for MingW (never used it, have only heard of people using it)
If you don't like mingw, there are also LCC and Cygwin

EDIT: Cygwin is located at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/

MinGW

You need to download the file from the "Current/MinGW/Other" section. I'd suggest you get MSYS, too, while you're there: it does most of the useful things that Cygwin does, and is much friendlier.

Also, I know that at some point, Microsoft were giving away their C/C++ compiler for free. This might still be the case.

As for tutorials: Googling "C Tutorial" gives some nice results. :-) The one from About.com looks like a reasonable introduction.
