title: Is there a compiler or IDE for C on Windows that's regarded as an industry standard?
body: <p>Taking advice from <A href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1711/what-is-the-single-most-influential-book-every-programmer-should-read">this post</a>, I purchased a copy of 'The C Programming Language' and am happily reading my way through. </p>
  
  <p>However, all the stuff I've written in the past has been interpreted, and I have no idea where to look for a good C compiler or an IDE (is there even one?). Google searches throw up a lot of results for C++ compilers, which I don't think is the same thing? Haha. I was wondering if there is a compiler or IDE  for C that's regarded as an industry standard (kinda in the same way that Zend Studio is pretty much <em>the</em> IDE for PHP), or at least one that is generally considered to be a good quality product.</p>
