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++.

J. Kruger

Transnet Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Always better to learn new tricks in a stimulating environment. Renier knows his stuff and explains clearly, enunciates well and has a neat handwriting on the whiteboard. Presented material worthwhile learning about! Excellent stuff!

J. Bourhill

Nedbank Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Renier has indepth knowledge about the course and his explanations were clear with immense emphasis placed on important concepts!

K. Govindsamy

Private Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
I recently attended a C programming course taught by Renier van Wyk and I must say it was an incredibly positive experience. Renier is a knowledgeable and experienced instructor who was able to make the material both accessible and engaging. His teaching style is clear and concise, making it easy to understand the complex concepts of C programming. He also provided ample opportunities for hands-on learning through coding exercises and projects, which allowed me to solidify my understanding of the material. Overall, I would highly recommend Renier van Wyk for anyone looking to learn C programming. He is a fantastic instructor who is dedicated to helping his students succeed.
