I"m taking a class on programming in C

[cirthix]

recommend me some software to use that's good and free.

Free? GNU. IMO, the best for a beginner is visual studio though. GNU's debugging isn't exactly for the newbie.

Generally, the school provides free/EXTREMELY reduced licensing for whatever they use. Check into that.

DevCPP could work as a free IDE - take into account, however, that some of the "string and character output" functions don't work like Borland C++, Microsoft Visual C++ and (maybe others). I heard that Turbo C from Borland (version 3.1 I think) would be free as well
