What will I learn in this course?

You will learn the basic techniques of programming in C. This starts with data types, variables and operators and ends with pointers, structures, dynamic memory allocation and file I/O. You get both the theory and plenty of practical exercises, so that you can apply what you have learned straight away.

Who is this course for?

The course is suitable for junior software developers, students, technicians and engineers who want to work with C. If you already have experience with another programming language and want to extend your knowledge with C, this is also the right place for you.

What prior knowledge do I need?

No specific prior knowledge is required. General programming experience or a familiarity with logical thinking does help you pick up the material more quickly, but it is not a condition for participation.

What does the course look like?

The course is built around practice-oriented topics. You start with the basics (data types, operators, control flow) and build up to functions, pointers, structures and the standard library. Each day alternates between theory, demos and your own exercises.

What is the delivery format?

The course is classroom-based. The trainer covers the theory using example code and demos, after which you get to work on exercises straight away. In small groups you receive personal attention and there is plenty of room for questions.

Who teaches the course?

The course is taught by an experienced software development trainer with extensive practical experience in C and related languages. He or she links the theory to recognisable real-world situations.

What do I get after the course?

Afterwards you will receive a Learnit certificate as proof of participation. You will also have a solid grounding in C, allowing you to continue programming independently and move on to more advanced topics.

Preparation is not compulsory. If you would still like to do something in advance, browse through an introductory text on programming concepts such as variables, loops and functions. Otherwise, just make sure you start the course well rested.

What if I can't attend?

In that case, please contact Learnit as soon as possible. We will look at the options together for taking the course at another time. You will find the cancellation conditions on our website.

Do I receive a certificate?

Yes, on completing the course you will receive a Learnit certificate as proof of attendance.

C is one of the most influential programming languages ever. Many modern languages such as C++, Java and C# have their roots in C. In this course you learn the basic techniques of programming in C and build a solid foundation. You get straight to work on practical assignments, so that you not only understand the theory but can also apply it. Whether you want to develop further as a developer or gain a better grasp of the fundamentals of programming: this course offers you a complete introduction to C.

Description

On this C Programming Basics course you delve into the structure and workings of the C programming language. You start with the building blocks: variables, constants, data types, arrays and operators. You then learn how to control programs with conditional statements and loops.

Next, you work with functions, parameter passing, scope and recursion. Pointers are an important part of C. You learn what pointers are, how to use them and how they relate to arrays, strings and functions. Structures, unions and nested data types are also covered.

Finally, you work with the preprocessor, macros, the standard library, command line arguments, dynamic memory allocation and file I/O. Using demos and sample code, the trainer shows how the theory ties in with real-life situations. You will do a lot of practising yourself, so that you get to grips with what you have learned straight away. By the end of the course you will have a solid foundation on which to build your skills as a C programmer.

Topics

Variables, constants and data types
Arrays and multidimensional arrays
Operators: arithmetic, relational, bitwise and logical
Control flow: if/else, switch, loops
Functions, parameter passing and recursion
Scope and storage classes
Pointers, pointer to pointer and void pointers
Structures, unions and nested structures
Preprocessor, macros and header files
Standard library and command line arguments
Dynamic memory allocation
File I/O and error handling

Result

After completing this course you know the basic techniques of programming in C. You can independently write, debug and adapt smaller C programs. You understand how data types, control flow and functions work together and you know how to use pointers and structures for efficient code. You are also able to allocate memory dynamically and work with files. This gives you a solid basis for moving on to C++, embedded development or other C-related applications.

Target audience

This course is intended for anyone who wants to master programming in C. Think of junior software developers, students, technicians and engineers who work with embedded systems, drivers or low-level software. The course is also suitable if you already have experience with other programming languages and want to extend your knowledge with C. The course is practice-oriented and suitable both for those returning to programming and for people who want to understand the fundamentals of programming through one of the most influential languages.

Teaching method

The course is classroom-based and strongly practice-oriented. The trainer covers the theory using demos and sample code, after which you immediately get to work on exercises yourself. This way you experience how C works and what the pitfalls are. In between there is plenty of room to ask questions and exchange experiences with the trainer and your fellow participants. The small groups ensure personal attention and an interactive atmosphere.

Prior knowledge

No specific prior knowledge is required to take part in this course. It is useful, however, to have a general understanding of programming concepts, for example through earlier experience with another programming language or an introductory programming course. That speeds up your learning process, but it is not a condition. An affinity with logical thinking and computers is important.

The best training for you

At Learnit you will always find a course that takes you further. From (technical) IT skills to communication or personal leadership. You can also choose the training format that suits you best: a classroom course, a tailor-made course at your own office, an online course or an e-learning. We have the right course and the right format for everyone. Because learning in the way that suits you best delivers the best results.

Moving forward together

Taking a training course at Learnit means learning together. Together with your experienced trainer, together with your course group or together with your colleagues. And whether you take the training at home, at your office or at one of our training locations, we are always available to help you. To share our knowledge with you in a way that is genuinely useful to you. Getting further together through personal attention and understanding each other well; that is what we believe in.

Apply it directly in your work

Learning theory from a book that you can then hardly use in your work? Not at Learnit! Whichever training you take with us, you can put it to use at your workplace straight away. Because of the unique learning objectives you set together with the trainer at the start of the training. Because of the alternation between theory and (interactive) practical assignments. And by bringing the challenges you face in your daily work along to the training.
