To start programming , fire up any text editor and start banging in your
codes. Then use gcc.exe to compile it. gcc.exe is a command line C/C++
compiler. 

A very basic way of building a program (compiling and linkling)
would be :
 
   gcc -o filename.exe filename.c

example : I have a c source file name foo.c
          To build (create an .exe file) I'll use :

          gcc -o foo.exe foo.c

For more info , there's a great site at

If you're looking for an IDE (I presume you are...) , go get RHIDE 1.4
It's a great and free IDE for DJGPP.

Hope the above information can help you get started.
