Are there any good tutorials c programming with mysql? I only found one promising link, unfortunately they neglect to to show what is in their header files which doesn't help very much.

I went to your link and disagree they didn't show the header files.
Read again the step about $ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
So what files are in that package? The very header files called in the example code. I found them at https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/libmysqlclient-dev/filelist

I'm using windows so I installed Pelles like it suggested.

Pelles or not, I found the header files if you needed them.

How do you download them? I only see a list of files.

So how did I find the files?
- https://www.google.com/search?q=libmysqlclient-dev
- First link was https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libmysqlclient-dev which has downloads.
You might have to use 7Zip to unpack and install.

I'm not using Ubuntu. I'm using Windows. Those are deb packages which are for Ubuntu.

I worry you didn't try the files at all. Also, contact the author of the original page you linked and ask for a Windows install package.
That is, I find many of today's programmers to struggle if they are tasked to unpack and install from the gzip or tar packages. Many are only able to proceed if it's installed for them.
