programming question

I am looking into writing some code. I've been interested in learning C but have found it difficult to find tutorials that are C specific. Most of what I find is C and C++. Now I'm a n00b when it comes to programming but do I need to learn both?

I seem to have found one tutorial (http://winprog.org/tutorial/ [1]) that shows some examples of using the Windows API but all other tutorials seem to be oriented towards C++ so I am thinking that this one is also...

I don't know much about programming so I was going to start in Windows because my laptop has XP installed and this is the machine I carry around with me.

I've gone through some basic C tutorials that were terminal/command line oriented so I'm starting to catch on to the basics.

What should my next step be? Should I look into C++ for GUI programming, will C work for GUIs, or should I stick to command line stuff for now?

Just looking for a little direction. Thanks!
