C Language Introduction
C is a procedural programming language. It was initially developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973. It was mainly developed as a system programming language to write operating system. The main features of C language include low-level access to memory, simple set of keywords, and clean style, these features make C language suitable for system programming like operating system or compiler development.
Many later languages have borrowed syntax/features directly or indirectly from C language. Like syntax of Java, PHP, JavaScript and many other languages is mainly based on C language. C++ is nearly a superset of C language (There are few programs that may compile in C, but not in C++).
Beginning with C programming:
1) Finding a Compiler:
Before we start C programming, we need to have a compiler to compile and run our programs. There are certain online compilers like http://code.geeksforgeeks.org/, http://ideone.com/ or http://codepad.org/ that can be used to start C without installing a compiler.

Windows: There are many compilers available freely for compilation of C programs like Code Blocks and Dev-CPP. We strongly recommend Code Blocks.
Linux: For Linux, gcc comes bundled with the linux, Code Blocks can also be used with Linux.
