Hey u don´t even know if you are going to like this .
Go to the C tutorial above and write a first program as it suggests and compile it and run it
You will learn a lot from just that .
Develop out from there
Watch out though -everywhere on the net are people trying to push u toward microsoft´s rubbish- that´s how they make big money
Go that way if u wish but get a basic understanding first I say
I´m into Linux / Unix Python programming and I think this is the path of the future. It is being built into more and more devices as firmware. Linux is used in MP3 players , Satellite boxes , TV´s ,smart cards etc etc
Here´s an article that tosses it about somewhat

A very useful learning tool is the Arduino microprocessor which uses C and u write the program with a free software tool supplied which is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and then push it on to the chip and then run the chip. Worth a look too but you have to buy a few bits and pieces first , maybe from ¨adafruit¨ or ¨Sparkfun¨ google them up
There is a section for Arduino on this board too
or here

I´ve not worked it through yet but I reckon somehow microsoft must pay these guys to push their garbage on any unsuspecting young up and coming. Stick with the open source which means FREE
