I know these posts probably get old, as do people like me. But what will one more hurt? If you don''t want to help, don''t bash me - leave. Now, for those who are willing to help. I''m experienced in BASIC, HTML, the upper basics of PHP and Java, and am about to start Assembly and the many forms of C. Yet, I have no clue as to where to start for these. All of the "tutorials" I''ve looked at give strips of code and tell what it does, yet they don''t break it down to explain truly what it does. I have to know what each thing does clearly, to make the whole thing work. Most tutorials say and then say what it does, like...it says "hello world." But they never say how. So, could someone point me in the direction of an online/download tutorial for the basics of C, etc.?

Have you tried these tutorials?

Have you looked into getting a book?

well ya gotta understand most of those hello world programs are tryin to teach you with the procedures of getting a simple program up and running. If someone tried to show you exactly how cout worked, you might not understand. Just be content for awhile with knowing that cout << "Hello World"; puts text on the screen.

I know how ya feel learning C. I just couldn''t get it for a long time. Just give it some time. Don''t lose sleep over it. It''ll come. You''ll just have one of those moments when the clouds break open and the light shines down on your face and you''re like "WHOA!!"

Try here. CGP. There is a good section on where to start.

Most people feel I think to highly of myself. But they just don''t know how great it feels to be me

That''s a GREAT tutorial someone just gave me. It breaks it down for you. I''m the kind of person who really has to be shown how it''s done...few books can pull that off.
