C Programming Course – Learn from scratch

Programming is an essential skill for everyone in a modern workforce. Especially if you are an engineering student or work in a STEM-related job. You can learn the essentials of programming using Java and Python too, but C is a preferred choice for many. Mostly because it deals with abstraction layers that allow you to understand your code at a deeper level, thereby helping you understand a concept better. In this course on C programming, we will introduce the concept of data structures, something that is shared by almost all languages. We will then proceed to solve problems in C and study features specific to the C language.
