Err ... there are three things that you do with a program, in any language. Edit, Compile and Run.
To edit your programs, use some editor like vi, emacs, gedit ... or any other that you like. To compile, use a suitable compiler. For C, for example,
$ gcc -o hello hello.c
will compile your hello.c into an executable file called hello.
Now to run this executable, type
$ ./hello
But, all these are very simplistic instructions ... more issues involved. You seem to be new to programming in general, and unix programming in particular ... it would be good if you'll first refer to some book like an intro to C or something.
If what you are looking for is IDE (integrated development environment) like Visual Studio on Windows, take a look at Anjuta if you are using the GNOME desktop or KDevevelop if you are using KDE.
What I find most amazing is that you chose to install Debian although apparently you seem very new to programming!
Sameer.
