Programming in C- The Complete Course

"If you learn programming in C comprehensively there is no looking back in your programming/development career".
All the programming veterans swear by the above statement.

This course has been designed very meticulously for anyone who wants to learn Programming in C from basic to advanced level.
The author has created this course by leveraging his vast experience of training thousands of students using offline as well as online modes.

The course starts from the ground up and takes you up the last rung of the ladder. Even if you don't know what is programming, this course will not disappoint you as the author starts from the introduction to programming.

All advanced topics viz. pointers, functions, call by value Vs. call by reference, recursion, arrays sorting, searching techniques, structures, Unions, File handling have been covered in a very illustrative manner. A great deal of emphasis has been laid on coding examples with full explanation.

This course will pave your way to becoming a seasoned and hardcore programmer.
