Objectives:
 |
To understand the core elements of the C language. |
|
To gain a basic competence in C programming through hands-on experience in a sequence of
practical exercises. |
The C programming language lies at the core of most computing environments and
is the model for other languages such as Java, Javascript and Perl. Sometimes
the only way to accomplish certain tasks is with C, the Swiss army knife of
computer languages. This course will introduce you to the basics of C as a
general purpose programming language. It will also demonstrate some ways in
which it can be used for website design and management.
