Introducing
INTRODUCTION TO C PROGRAMMING
The goal of this course is to provide students with the ability to write programs in C and prepare them for Object-Oriented Programming. The course is designed to demonstrate the philosophy of C programming and how it differs from Visual Basic and functional programming. Students will be taught from first principles in a practical class setting where they can work at their own pace from a course handbook. Each practical class will culminate in an assessed exercise.
