Course Details

Course Description:

Do you want to learn how to program in C? Are you looking for an easy way to learn C programming? Our two-part Introduction to C Programming training course is what you need.

Introduction to C Programming Part 1 training introduces you to the C programming language. You will start with the layout of a C program and venture into control statements, loops, functions and basic I/O. Your development skills will continue in Part 2, where you will learn more complex data types such as arrays, structures and pointers. Solid programming techniques will be emphasized as part of your C development course.

Course Objectives:

As a result of taking this C programming online training course, you will be able to:

• Write a basic C program
• Identify safe C programming practices
• Implement control statements
• Perform basic looping
• Modularize your C program

Course Prerequisites:

You should have experience with a programming language. While the syntax of the C language is covered thoroughly, there is an assumption of knowledge and skill with the operating system you will be working with, and with some underlying basics of programming.
