I am using Bloodshed Developer C++ 5.0 beta for C programming and wanted to know that is there any tutorial or help page for the list of statements that are available in it.
Because I am thinking of plunging into graphics design and window design but it does not have a graphics.h file(just one example).Also as the compiler is GCC so the clrscr statement wont work.Is there any helpbook?
Also could you give me some good links to graphics and windows programming basics tutorials?

Thanks in advance!

Firstly learn C not TC, conio and graphics header files are from Turbo C and best left to rot with it.

You sound like a noob. I dont mean to insult you, but Im just saying you have a lot to learn.

You dont PLUNGE into graphics or windows design. You will get nowhere. You have to start with C, move on to C++, and then go ahead with windows programming, and then graphics programming. If you are not strong in c and c++, you'll fail when it comes to windows prog.

If you really want to learn programming, get Turbo C++ and learn C and C++. Then move on to Microsoft Visual C++ and learn Windows SDK prog, then MFC, then CLR, and sideby side learn graphics while you are doing so.

Well I have learnt C(worked on both Turbo C and GCC) more than the course teachers teach and have my basics right.I am learning C++ right now and its OK as I am a noob but still I don't have my answer.
