starting NES programming in C

Hello Everybody!

I want to start NES programming. Please have some patience with me.

I did a little bit of research on google and found there are 2 main languages for NES: assembly and C.
Assembly is currently way to difficult for me (I barely understand anything) but C is probably understandable for me.
So I learned a C tutorial and it's going well to make some simple programs in C. I have basic knowledge now of C: loops, variables, calling functions, parameters, ...
I used Visual Studio for this: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/

I now have several questions to prepare my computer (I have windows) for NES programming:

- what compiler do I need for NES C programming?
- how to install this compiler into visual studio?
- what emulator I need?
- Is there a way to debug NES C programs (maybe inside the emulator?)
- what tutorial do you recommend for NES programming in C (I don't want to learn assembly, because I feel it's too difficult for me)

Thanks so much!
