Any one can give some tips or ways to learn more than 2 programing languages, without getting confused?
im still learning python, bash and php.
thank you so much.
Learning more than one language is not too hard (it is called language polyglot).
You need to focus on the common ideas that are shared by languages. And they are:
paradigms (very important, since many paradigms are shared)
syntax (C type or not)
use cases (web, desktop, mobile...)
The hard part is learning the language ecosystem and environment, good and bad parts, criticism, frameworks, tools... For this you need years to master.

I'm new to programming, I'm learning alone,I'm not attendant to any school.
I began my programming on C, I've been learning it from S.Prata C Primer Plus.
I'm in the middle of the book like 320/680 pages.
My goal that i set myself is to create advanced calorie calculator with local database :D
I want it to be on windows with a nice GUI and many options that I'll provide into it.
What languages do I have to learn next after C to finish my project?
Depends on what desktop you are writing for. Windows, C#. Mac, Swift or Objective-C. Linux, you can use Python.
If you want to write a single program that will work on both Windows and Mac, you want to learn a windowing language like QML, and use C++ with it.
So it's not as simple as 'a' language.

It has been a few years since I coded any C (or C++) and now I have to code an application to run on a micro-controller. Development will be on a Windows 7, 64-bit PC, which is where the unit tests will run.
Last time out I was using CppUnit, but am not sure of what might have changegd in the past few years and Wikipedia offers so many choices that I might spend weeks trying them all out.
What meets this wish-list?
can handle plain C (gcc under Cygwin)
quick learning curve
good documentation, including examples, and support (forums)
can generate stubs (mocks?) from header files
I am using NetBeans as IDE if that makes any difference
Integrates with Hudson is a bonus
a GUI might be nice, all other things being equal
I am slowly coming round to TDD, if that makes any difference
Plus anything else you can think of. Thanks in advance

I program mostly in C while studying at university. I was wondering if there is some simple open-source library that would let me make a GUI for a program in C.
Things to concider by priority:
Simple
Nice-looking
Features
I don't know how to program in C++ and would prefer to stay in pure C.
i would highly recommend Glade + GTK.
i use it in combination with python, and it works quite well.
it's also very simple to use.
here is an example:
http://people.gnome.org/~newren/tutorials/developing-with-gnome/html/apc.html#libglade-example-1
hope that helps!
EDIT:
here is a more extensive tutorial:
http://www.micahcarrick.com/gtk-glade-tutorial-part-1.html
However, notice that it might be difficult to write GUI code in C which runs on many different systems (e.g. on Linux, MacOSX, Android, and Windows). Gtk claim to have such a goal, but I don't know if it fully reached.

I am relatively new to programming, but I enjoy it a lot. I was told that contributing to opensource projects is a good way to learn a lot more. Anywyas, I was wondering if anybody knew what projects I could contribute to--even if I play a small role any experience would be appreciated.
My background is C and Java. I prefer working with C though.
Thanks!
Joey
Well, probably you should contribute to a project you already use.
Go to sourceforge and look for a project you like. You'll be no use to anyone unless you have a personal interest in the software. Pick a project you use in your daily work and play and make it better. Start with a smaller project as you'll likely get a better reception than trying to work on Firefox or the Linux kernel.

Anyone know of a good statistics library for C? I'm looking for something that is commonly used and not a small project. EDIT: must be free!
gsl (http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/) is widely available, portable, and has a lot of nice functionality.
Statistics are frequently done in other languages, but some of those languages will be callable from C. I'd recommend looking at R and Octave; the latter is an open source Matlab work-alike. Both are programming languages in their own right, but many other languages can be called from C.
In my opinion, MATLAB is a very good choice you can use for that. Here is an article on how to call MATLAB from C.
It ain't cheap. But you did not specify anything about the library being cheap or free. Plus, you are mentioning it's a big project.... :-)
