There is a fair amount of material to learn in C but take it one step at a time and you'll get there. Plus you can ask on the forums or email me if you get stuck. Don't feel overwhelmed.
If you haven't done so, please check out the requirements before you start this tutorial. You will need a C compiler and we recommend the Open Watcom compiler. Instructions for obtaining that and installing it are here.
If you are unfamiliar with compilers read about compilers and interpreters.
