I've been wanting to get into C for awhile now. I just haven't had the time or excuse. What will I need other than gcc and a text editor? What can I do with C? What kind of interface libs are there? I've heard of MFC, but is that C++ only or what? Any advice would be great. Thanks.
Gcc and a good editor is fine... but an organized IDE is better if you're going to deal with huge projects. What you can do with C? everything, it's a general purpose language, the language itself, doesn't puts obstacles in your way... the only one is your mind. About interfaces, you're planning to program under witch plataform?
I'll be doing stuff mostly on Windows to learn. But I'd like to do some "scripting" of sorts for Linux/Unix as well. I don't plan on doing anything large really. Just some small time stuff to learn the basics of the langauge. So if later on I need to do something with it, I'll be able to.
