Welcome to Giraffe Academy!
My name is Mike and in this course, I'll be teaching you everything you need to know to get started in the C programming language. C is one of the oldest and most influential programming languages around - in fact, many modern programming languages are based off of C. So whether you're looking to get into C or want to branch out into something like C++, learning the basics of C is a great starting point.

What You'll Learn
In this course, we'll cover everything you need to know to get started with C programming. We'll start by talking about how to install a text editor and the C compiler. Then, we'll dive into writing some basic code and cover important concepts like:
Ā
Variables and data types
Conditional statements
Loops
Functions
Arrays
Pointers
By the end of this course, you'll have a strong foundation in C programming and be ready to take on more advanced topics.

Getting Started with C Programming
In order to start programming in C, we will need two things: a text editor and an environment to write our C programs. Any text editor that allows you to write and save text in a specific file format will work. However, it can be useful to use a special environment called an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) when working with C.
