    um, cprogramming.com, then the begin page off it. Also howstuffworks has a great tutorial on it (its where I started), whatever tutorial you decide to use prepare for alot of reading though, it is worth it!
    long time no C; //seige
    You miss 100% of the people you don't C;
    Code:
    if (language != LANG_C && language != LANG_CPP)
        drown(language);

    It might also be an idea to invest in a good beginners book. Check the book recomendations thread for some insight on the best ones.

    A tutorial is limited on what it can teach you on the more advanced features of the language concepts, where as a book will go into much more detail.

    I would recommend Let Us C 8th Edition. I am currently using the book as a self study guide. It goes through so many aspects of C, and at the end of each chapter has many, many exercises, but no solution. Unfortunately they are in a separate book!

    However, as pointed out in another post, it uses "void main()", which makes at least me suspicious that the author also makes other mistakes that are in the "undefined behaviour" - and using undefined behaviour is definitely a bad thing.
