Hands on Introduction to C Programming in the Terminal

Overview

In this course you will learn how to program in the C programming language with nothing more than a terminal, a compiler, and a simple text editor. The goal is to get you up to speed as fast as possible focusing on learning the language. This course is ideal for someone who needs additional tutoring in C programming, will be starting a new job in a position where they will program in C, or otherwise needs to refresh their skills on the C language.

Topics you’ll learn

Some of the things you will learn in this course include:

C Programming foundations: input/output, loops, functions, pointers

C Data structures: arrays, linked lists

Working with files for reading and writing data

Building custom data structures

Debugging using professional tools like GDB and Valgrind.

Intermediate level topics like working with function pointers

Why you should take this course?

You should consider choosing this course because it is being taught by someone who has used C in industry and academia, and will be kept up to date over time. We’ll also talk about things not often talked about, like how to build libraries, or how the compilation toolchain works in C, so you fully understand the details or how to otherwise grow as a C programmer. I hope you enjoy starting your journey learning C with me!
