This should get you started (worked for me ;-) :

1) install the C compiler : "sudo apt-get install build-essential"

2) create a text file, call it say "main.c", and this in it:

#include <stdio.h>

main(void) 
{
printf("\n\nMy first program, woohoo !! :-)\n\n ");

}


3) save the file 

4) in the current directory (where you save that file), type: "gcc
main.c". 

This will compile the file and create an executable file called "a.out".

5) run the program: "./a.out"

6) enjoy :-)
