Do you want to get a grip on the basic programming concepts from scratch? Do you feel the need to have a better and enhanced understanding of how it all works?  Well, you've come to the right place. This course outlines data types, control flow, functions, input/output, memory, compilation, debugging and other advanced topics in a comprehensive, yet concise manner.

C is where it all begins and where you should also begin to embark on your programming journey. The incredibly efficient and powerful C language forms the basis for many other languages like C++ and Java. It allows you to interact directly with memory and low-level computer operations, thereby enhancing your programming skills and deepening your understanding. This comprehensive and detailed course will introduce you to all the basic and advanced programming concepts of C language. In addition, it also addresses memory, debugging and parallel programming in C.

Sounds awesome? Let's dive in!
