Description
If you are completely new to programming and want a simple introduction, then this course is for you. This course is partly based on the textbook C How to Program by Deitel and Deitel. C Programming is still a common requirement for Engineering and Computer Science students as it is the language of choice for low-level programming, eg, in embedded systems, OS kernel programming, device drivers and modules programming and  so on. Because C works very closely with the processor, performance-critical applications are mostly written in C and it has become the backbone of modern operating systems, compilers, interpreters, third-party libraries, and databases. In addition, C is a small language that is designed to cost minimal performance overhead which makes it ideal for embedded systems. C is the language of choice for implementing Operating Systems for Windows, Linux and OSX. Features of this course:Beginner friendlyExercises and solutions explained in detailPlenty of practical exercisesWho this course is for:Engineering and Computer Science studentsAnyone interested to learn the fundamental concepts of programmingLearning Outcomes:By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the basic concepts of programming to further your studies in more advanced topics.Enroll today and I will see you inside!
