Intro to C Programming from UMBC Training Centers

Intro to C Programming

This class provides students with a foundational study of the C programming language, C23 standard. Classroom lectures stress the strengths of C, which provide programmers with the means of writing efficient, maintainable, and portable code. Lab exercises throughout the class test and reinforce understanding of the concepts.

This class is best taken as the first of a two-class series. The concepts in this class are further developed in the follow-on class, Intermediate C Programming. Completing both these classes will take a developer without C knowledge to become a capable C programmer.

Cumulative graded assessments available for group training.
