C Training Course

Overview

The C Programming Language Training Course

This five-day C training course is an introduction to the C programming language, the C standard library, and C11 to C2X standards. The training is offered both remotely and on-site. No prior experience with C is required to attend the course. This C training course is for teams who wish to learn the C programming language, solidify their knowledge-base and become familiar with the latest C standards.

The recommended group size is up to ten people. The training day consists of a C theoretical introduction, C source code examples, and C coding exercises and tasks. During the training, there is an ongoing Q&A session between the trainer and participants. The fifth day is dedicated to creating a C project, debugging the solution, and doing code reviews.
