You might start by editing a C-language file, then typing:
C-h m
(Control-h, followed by the letter 'm') to see what commands are defined
expressly for the C mode in Emacs.
A lot of the so-called "electric" commands will just do the right thing
(matching braces as required, etc.). The output of "C-h m" includes:
C-x c compile
which is undoubtedly a command you'll use a lot. In conjunction with that,
it's convenient to have a file:
Makefile
in your source directory, as Emacs will attempt to use that by default to
build your program. (Do a web search for "gnu make", for instance, if you
need help with the Makefile.)

Good luck,
