Introduction to C Programming

Open-Source C Training for the Beginning or Intermediate Student

In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of programming and the basics of the C language. This course covers everything from the different variables types and arrays to getting input from a user. Then it goes on to more advanced topics, such as pointers and recursion, which provide the framework needed to be a good C programmer.

Upon completion of the course, students will earn 4 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and a CEU letter from the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education.

From beginning to end, participants will learn by doing their own C programming-based projects. These projects, as well as the final project, will add to the student's portfolio. Besides a browser and internet connection, all software is provided online by the O'Reilly School of Technology.

Introduction to C Programming covers topics including compiling, variables, math, input/output, conditional statements, loops, arrays, and more.
