Welcome Raj, The only book you need to buy is a C manual. Once you know some C you can look for programs with source code on the web for whatever area you're interested in. Most programs you can think off have already been written. The c compiler program in Linux is called 'cc' (or maybe just 'gcc'). If you don't have that installed get it from your distro.
