Introduction[edit | edit source]

C is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world,[1] whose application are in all fields of computer sciences, telecom and electronics embedded devices, graphic applications,... Therefore, C is a common choice for people wanting to learn how to program. This course assumes no previous programming experience and will guide you through all of the aspects of programming in C.

The course will roughly follow the C Programming book at Wikibooks as well as provide supplementary reading material for each lesson primarily through Wikipedia. Exercises will be given at the end of each course along with possible solutions. It is highly recommended that all of the exercises be worked because programming is learned by doing, not just reading.

Beginner level[edit | edit source]

The beginner course, which can be considered as an introduction to C, consists of 15 lessons, plus exercise and answer. This course will give student an overview of C, tools setup to run C program, variables, functions, basic data type and data structure and simple techniques to develop a multi-source files program (with preprocessors and header file). This course gives student knowledge to develop software running at "CLI level", the ability to solve basic data structure and algorithm problem, or providing base knowledge for further investigation on software development with C on embedded devices (micro-controller or Linux embedded single board computer), system programming (Linux, Windows), device driver, desktop application,...
