I need to do some C programming on my Mac OSX, 10.4.4 and I'm looking
for a user friendly interface and debugging tool to write my programs
with, and that will also compile them. Can you tell me of a free
download for Mac? I've looked on google already, so I'm looking for
advice from someone with experience in this matter and who can tell me
about the best that's out there.

It's been a long time since I compiled C code on a Mac.  But my
impression is that Mac OSX comes bundled with XCode 2.0 (it may be 2.2
by now).  The GCC compilers are definitely free, and I think the IDE
stuff is bundled with the operating system, but I'm not a guru.  Check
out here:

Looks like it's a free download here, although you need to register:

First, you need an ADC account. Then, you can login at
http://developer.apple.com, where you can download the latest XCode.
XCode has a nice GDB GUI interface.
