Complete C programming

Description

Complete C programming training course description

A hands-on introduction to programming in the ANSI C programming language. The course initially moves at a fast pace in order to spend as much time as possible on the subject of pointers - the area which cause the most bugs in C programs.

What will you learn

• Write ANSI C programs
• Use the C libraries
• Debug C programs
• Examine existing code and determine its function.
