About

This course will help you to master the C programming language in no time with the help of step-by-step exercises and the instructor’s 14 years of experience as a C developer.

The course teaches you everything you need to know to get started with the C programming language. Starting with the basics, you’ll gradually progress to advanced concepts such as functions, pointers, and library development. What makes this course different from others is that it does not confine you to using an integrated development environment (IDE), but rather lets you gain hands-on experience using the compiler, helping you to develop the skills you need to use the GCC compiler manually like a pro. As you advance, you’ll get up to speed with typedef and Boolean, along with using a preprocessor and operators. You’ll also delve into casting and creating libraries. Toward the end of the course, you’ll work on a project that allows users to create books, save them to the disk, and read them.

By the end of this course, you will be well-versed in C programming on Windows.
