Exercises, examples and other material relating to training module C050. This module is presented on Private Courses and Specially Run Courses only

C is the bedrock behind all the other modern scripting languages from Perl to Java and from Lua to PHP - they're all written in C. And it's used for heavy compute and low level programming too. Modern computing wouldn't be possible without C - but that does not necessarily mean that YOUR application should be written in C these days - there may be other more effective choices.Introduction to the C Programming Language

2848	C course - final course example puts it all together "Yes - but how do we put all of those things together?" ... delegate question on many programming courses. As a trainer, I have to take our students through each of the main features of a language - to ensure they understand the fundamentals and perhaps more. But the it's just as important to take ...	2011-01-05
3053	Make - automating the commands for building and installing Coding projects (and their open source distributions) require build scripts - files of commands that convert the source code into executable programs, that install the various resultant files into place, and that can clean up the build area for a fresh build or for redistribution. The make system - ...	2010-12-04
2763	Our C and C++ training course are on Open Source platforms Q: C++ is under open source in your courses. is that right? BTW I like your site. Need to learn C++ but too expensive for me. Thanks. Question / comment via our "Ask the Tutor" page - but I suspect that the email address given doesn't reach the writer, and the question / comments are good "FAQ quality" ...	2010-05-14
2669	Efficient use of dynamic memory - C and realloc C is basically a language in which you dimension your arrays at compile time - however, at run time you can call up malloc or calloc to grab a chunk of dynamic memory. This is very useful if you don't know how much space you'll need at compile time. We've several example in our memory management module ...	2010-03-10
2536	All the Cs ... and Java too Do you get confused between C, C++, C#, Objective C ... and where to Java and J++ fit in? C C is the bedrock of modern computing.

2002	New C Examples - pointers, realloc, structs and more Every time I program in C, I marvel at how clever the language is ... yet at the same time I curse some of the devices that are used to perform certain actions, which make the code that much more of a 'puzzle' to right. I've finished a 2 day C Programming course today ... and written a whole raft ...	2009-01-20
