Hiya.
I am trying to learn C from books at the library but most of them are University books (ie. books that the university own that you can only get out for a week and the fees are astronomical). I would absolutely LOVE to create my own application or at least be associated with the development of one. I want to learn some programming code. Could you give me a few tips and do you know any sites that could somehow teach me how? Thanks-a-million. QUEST RULZ 4EVA.

Well, Quest uses visual basic..... which of course uses 'BASIC' and not C/C++.
I am trying to learn C/C++, and have a bcc (borland C compiler) and have a tiny book my father bought for me :)
I'd advise you to go to WH smiths, or www.amazon.com and buy a C/C++ book..... I don't know but I'd emagine they'd be pretty cheep..... somewhere on the Borland site they've got a free bcc (the one I have!) that may/may not compile into windows (ie... it may ONLY execute in DOS!).
Or you could get visual C, and other C/C++ programming packages from good PC stores!
