It really depends on how -you- learn. Some of us learn by example (stepping through existing programs, etc) and some of us learn by reading text books.
If you can't remember anything from what you've already done with FORTRAN, then probably a beginners text book would be suitable (or a beginners website even).
Language wise, I would have to keep recommending C over pretty much most others. This is because:
a) Look and feel (syntax wise) is common with other languages.
b) It's procedural, no need to jump into OO.
c) It's a syntax nazi and will trip you up on improper syntax most of the time.
d) There's -plenty- of resources available for it.
Actual resource wise I can't really recommend anything in particular, sticking 'learning c programming tutorial' into google will find quite a few tutorials that might help. Book wise, head to a bookstore and see if there's any that call out to you.
HTH.
