Standard C Programming Course

About this course

The Standard C Programming course will teach you the fundamentals of the C language so that you can write C programs, or maintain existing C code. Learning C is one of the best foundations for any programmer. Many of the principles in C are used in other languages, and C will give you a better understanding of what happens when your code runs. You will learn to write portable code that can be used on different platforms and devices. This course is also an essential foundation for anyone who wants to learn C++.
