Description

Have you never programmed a computer before, and think or have been told that C is a good programming language to get started with? It is! Maybe you have some experience with other programming languages, but want to learn C. It's a great language to add to your resume! Or perhaps you are stuck in a low-paying programming job, and want to move up to a better, more senior position. Learning C can help you! The fact is, learning how to program in C is not only an excellent programming language to get started with, but it will also make you a better programmer in other computer languages!

C is often considered to be the mother of all languages because so many other languages have been based on it. By the end of this course, you will understand the fundamentals of the C Programming Language, and make yourself more marketable for entry-level programming positions. You will understand variables and the different data types, be able to utilize functions and arrays, understand the concept of pointers, learn about control flow (decision statements and iteration). You will be in a position to apply for real-time programming positions, and truly understand the core language that most modern languages are based on!

If you have previously used the C programming language, then this course will deepen your understanding of it. If you have never used it, no problem, you will see that it can help you become a more efficient C developer. The course will be constantly refined in the future based on student feedback! This course does not skip on the details. You will learn how to write high-quality code and become an excellent problem solver. This course does not just present how to code in the C programming language, but also includes all the details on "why" you are doing the things you are doing. At the end of this course, you will fully understand the concepts of the C Programming language.

If you are ready to get that first paid programming job, or to move up to a more senior programming position, then this course is for you! Click the Signup button to sign up for the course! Anyone looking to learn how to program in the C language.
