I'm starting to learn C however I do not know what's a good choice for a program to code in. At the moment I have Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 but are there any good alternatives for it on the Windows platform?

Thanks.

To write code you need nothing but a simple text editor.. to compile the code, you'll need a (*the audience gasps*) a compiler.. There are several free C compiler alternatives out there.. sadly, I don't remember any names..

Visual Studio is supposed to be pretty good.. but there are some alternatives like borland

I program in C++ for Win32 MFC apps sometimes and I find that the Visual Studio IDE is excellent. The tooltips to complete functions, menus and MFC class support is excellent. If you're just learning C, then checkout GCC for Linux or BloodShed, they're both free.
