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:
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.
In this tutorial, we will cover the core concepts of programming in C. We will start by discussing what a program is and how it works. Then, we will move on to more advanced topics such as if statements, loops, variables, data types, structures, and functions.
By the end of this course, you will have a strong foundation in C programming that you can build on. We are excited to bring you this basic course on C and we hope you enjoy the tutorials.
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.
