C Programming – Learn from Scratch

Overview

Overview

C is a general purpose programming language developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie. It is one of the most widely used programming languages of all time, originally developed for implementing the UNIX operating system. Nowadays it is largely used for developing system applications, database systems, graphics packages, operation system development and much more. It is a structure oriented language, meaning its prime focus is on functions and it follows a top-down approach.

C programming language has been around for 50 years or so and is often perceived as one of the most difficult languages to master. Any programmer who can list C programming on their resume is sure to carve a good career in the tech industry. This C Programming – Learn from Scratch course is aimed at anyone with a desire to learn the C language, with the goal of building a solid knowledge of the language. After starting with a general introduction and an overview of C language fundamentals, this course will teach you on more advanced topics covering the breadth of the C spectrum. With an emphasis on hands-on training, from Module 2 onwards you will use code walk throughs and post-lecture challenges to compound and test your skills. Code and code comments are included with each module too, so you will have plenty of resources to help you learn. By the completion of this course, you will be well on your way to achieving fluency in the C language, and be comfortable with both reading and writing C. You will also know how to build basic programs with C and will be well equipped to progress to more complex projects.
