I went to the bookshop today to see if I could find any of those books

Brisbane Australia) that any of you recommended is "SAMS Teach
Yourself C in 24 hours". by Tony Zhang. Looks good and I'm ready to
start writing my first C program! :-D
You might want to look at Seth Roby's recent article, the first in what
promises to be a very useful series:

Problem is, it's written for Windows and has all the instructions for
Microsoft's and Borland's C compilers, but of course I want to do it
on my Mac!
I think I understand that I can write the code in any plain text
document (Do I have to use vi or can I do it in TextEdit or the
like?). Once I've done that though, can anyone tell me the basics of
compiling said text files?
You can use any text editor you wish, provided it outputs "plain text".
If you use TextEdit, for example, ensure you don't save your file as
RTF.
To compile files at the commandline, you can use cc (type "cc --help"
to get started). Alternatively, you might consider leaping straight in
with an IDE, like Project Builder or Xcode. These will simplify the
task of organising all your files etc. In Xcode, you can simply create
a new project of type "Standard Tool" (scroll all the way to the bottom
of the list of project types) and edit the main.c file it creates for
you...
