I learned to type in school on huge Underwood manual typewriters. (I was the
only boy in the high school typing class; I thought it would be a good skill to
learn. Obviously, I was right.)

My ex-father in law had been in the Army during the Korean War. He came home
with one piece of advice. "Kid, learn to type. In the Army, a man who can
type is too valuable to risk being killed."

Cheers,

I too learned to type in highschool (cause I was loosing 10-20 marks for bad handwriting). That worked great, the teachers were so glad not to have to read my writing they let me write my exams in a separate room with my little electric brother typewriter. It made a bit of a racket :) To learn C
-there are online courses and how-to books. I liked the SAMS one. Pick one and run with it.
-Get Eclipse C/C++ IDE. It will hold your hand and help you avoid stupid syntax errors till you get a feel for the language.
-work hard and don't give up!

Things that are spectacularly important:
-read and learn about the compiling and linking processes. Know the differences and what messages relate to which one.
-get a grip on pointers! Pointers and indexes from pointers are the root of most bugs.

have fun!
