Hey guys I was curious about C. I've been doing PHP a long time and I like how the syntax is quite similar.

I am wondering a few things that I can't really figure out.

a. Does C for Win and Linux differ? Or can the same C code be compiled for both? Or is it something like they use different includes?

b. Is there a good tutorial where I can go through and see how to build some test application. All the examples of hello world don't get me far. I can figure out the syntax fast enough but I don't totally follow what Im capable of.

Thanks.

Actually I think I want to do C++ due to the OOP approach.

1) No. The same code can be compiled on both platforms. If you want something more fancy, such as a GUI, then yes, you would need other includes (usually, unless the GUI code itself is portable).
2) Looked at the tutorials on the site?

"Thanks Elysia. You're a programming master! How the hell do you know every thing?"
Quoted... at least once.

Okay thank you, sorry I didn't notice there are tutorials, sorry I can't find them. Are they the sticky threads somewhere?

Doh, I see it, under the FAQ and such
