Re: [Dev-C++] Help....Me out there............................A newbie....Pl..z....

There are a zillion C compatible libraries out there on the net, packed 
into .a/.lib/.dll/ files with corresponding headers (for instance libpng 
is one, it loads .png files into memory and can be downloaded from 
www.libpng.org). Also you need to consider what license you want to use, 
GPL is a great choice but MPL etc is also good for some purposes. If you 
need commercial code, you typically have to pay a lot for it or possibly 
use something published under the BSD license. There is no central 
repository or manual that covers *all* libraries out there.

Figure out what you need to do/write (play an mp3 file?) etc and then 
ask someone what libraries and tool there is for that specific task.

Don't learn stuff like MFC etc if you dont have too, there is a lot of 
better frameworks that make it easier to migrate when needed ie 
wxWindows, QT or GTK.

In general, as a start, you should learn a little bit about the ANSI/ISO 
C library (which sucks pretty much though), and possibly some C++ and 
STL stuff.

I use these for reference, but they are never hard to use if you dont 
know what you're looking for:
