From the course: Complete Guide to C Programming Foundations
Diving into C
“
- [Instructor] At over 50 years old, C remains one of the top computer programming languages a required course at many universities. C is often called the Latin of computer languages because when you know C, learning other languages is easier, yet, like learning, Latin, C can be a beast. This course is a concept-based approach to introducing the skills necessary to program in the C language. Each video focuses on a specific part of the language. Basic processes are repeated as new concepts are introduced. It's how I learned C, exploring the language and discovering it at the same time. I'm Dan Gookin, author of the book, C Programming for Dummies, and I invite you to join me and explore this Complete Guide to C Programming Foundations.
