FB does have the headers, however, you'll still have to download the .dll's yourself
first (as with all other "external" libraries). https://www.gtk.org/download/

So i must download gtk first?..what about deploying ... I think tutorials like these must be created .. It discourages new users to use the language

It seems to me, that noobs are always asking for tutorials, instead of reading the Reference.
Starting a new language, by using (any) external lib. is, IMHO not really useful.
You should be comfortable with the language, before starting with lib's.

Library specific tutorials are harder to get, than tutorials, of a general nature.
(there are less people, who know/use a specific library, others may prefer another lib.)

You've probably just used very popular programming languages: for those a massive amount of examples, code-snippets and tutorials for nearly every topic you can think of is available somewhere on the internet and you basically just need to copy & paste the needed lines of code into your program.
FreeBasic is not that popular and there are not as many sample applications and tutorials. The important thing you could learn from this situation is to use the existing documentation and find your own solutions (instead of copying solutions from tutorials others have written).

For example, regarding networking, a simple forum search would have lead you to the following thread, which should answer your question:
