Please notice the smiley face by the title of my post before getting angry at me  :lol:

So, OK... I just downloaded and installed Code::Blocks under Win XP on my laptop with the firm intention of learning C

Can somebody point me towards a tutorial with lots and lots of screenshots (if possible) so that I can get started and be able to write the classical "Hello world" program? 

I've looked at the help files of the program but most of the info pertains plugins but no tutorial...

Thanks!

thats because this is "only" for writing programs not tutorial.

c++ tutorials are for exemple at:
www.cprogramming.com

all about game develop
www.gamedev.com

just gooooooooogle :lol:

Sorry, but gamedev.com is fetched by a domain grabber as it seems :-( Are there alternatives?

That is a very good place to start and they also have tutorials on code:blocks

It's http://www.gamedev.net. There are very good OpenGL-Tutorials on http://nehe.gamedev.net.

The one I learned from, which was the best I've ever found, was Teach Yourself C in 21 Days by Sams.net.

Is there no reference material to configuring and using Code::Blocks ? [NOT how to program]

Get a good book on C. Or two.

The C Programming Language (2nd Edition)
A Book on C: Programming in C (4th Edition)

If you are learning C, then an IDE (such as code::blocks) is no place to start, however good an IDE code::blocks may be. Use a free text editor and get yourself a compiler. Being on windows, i suggest getting yourself a copy of MinGW and MSYS.

I've been there before, but I should buy their CD first right? Only the first (basics) tutorials (the first ones in every section in the tutorial part) I can download, but noone of the other I can view, read, download. I use Firefox, can anybody else read tutorials at that site?

Take a look here: http://www.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~goetz/codeblocks/

It's a work in progress, but our students have found it to be helpful.
