If you really want to code using gtk I would suggest you start by looking here for tutorials. I would really suggest you use vala or python for any gui work though, c is not really the best choice for this task.

As to the files you need. They are contained within the libgtk-3-dev package which can be installed with sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev.

search the newest libgtk-dev file in the debian package repository and download it.

gtk.h should be in the package.
