Hi!

If you are looking for a website that teaches C, here's a link:
http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/C/CE.html
If you ask me what language you should learn, I suggest C, it is a very beautiful language and ofcourse a very powerful one! After you have learnt the language, you can start programming for projects maybe like: Chat Applications, X Windows, ...

You can search them on http://www.google.com where you'll find lot of projects on desired topics. Or you can register yourself at http://www.sourceforge.net and download the available projects.

C is a structural programming language.
In my opinion, it is a good programming language to start with.

C++ is a object-oriented programming language. Furthermore, what works in C shall be able to work in C++. Some of the object-oriented concept may be difficult for beginner to understand.

If I'm correct, C# is a product of Mircosoft. It is used as a programming language in their .Net framework. It has a syntax similar to Java.

I totally agree with sihong. It's fully upto you to decide which language you want to learn. In my opinion, C is the best language!!! Smilie And if you wish to learn C on UNIX, i firstly suggest you to getting hands-on over UNIX before using the language C.
