Summary: C Programming Curriculum CBT Training CDs
Review: Course Overview
Despite the growth and popularity of 4GL and object-oriented languages, C remains one of the most popular and versatile programming languages available. Gaining proficiency in C gives programmers fundamental skills and knowledge that can be easily applied to other programming languages and environments. The goal of this four part curriculum is to give students the fundamental skills and knowledge necessary to be able to write syntactically correct C code, using the facilities of a standard ANSI C library, to create basic applications. This curriculum focuses on the basics of C, such as syntax, program structure, data types, flow control, pointer basics, statements and expressions, functions, etc. In addition, this curriculum will begin to introduce some more advanced topics. This series is based on ANSI C is not environment- or vendor-specific.

# This curriculum consists of 4 courses: 13201 C Programming Part 1
# 13202 C Programming Part 2
# 13203 C Programming Part 3
# 13204 C Programming Part 4

Certification: This curriculum does not map to any certification, nor is there any associated Instructor Led Training (ILT).

Audience
Application developers, software engineers, and programmer/analysts are some of the types of people who will benefit from taking this course. Personnel expecting to design and implement new or maintain existing systems and applications in a corporate environment. People who learned C in college, but have not used it in a couple of years and need to retrain. Individuals who are experienced in another structured programming language (Pascal, FORTRAN, COBOL, etc.) and now need to learn C, possibly as a prerequisite to C++, and those who are experienced in the general process of application development.
