Advanced C Programming

PT20373
Training Summary
The original C programming language was designed by Denis Richie at Bell Labs in 1972 as part of the development of the UNIX operation system. Since then, it and has become the workhorse of operating systems, embedded systems applications, real time applications and is ubiquitous in most IT infrastructures. C has a massive installed code base on almost every operation system and hardware platform from super computers to micro-devices. This course continues from where the Introduction to C Programming course ended. Students explore a number of advanced topics, delve deeper into good C program structure and design and work with the standard library. Over half of the class time will be spent doing hands on exercises or labs. The gcc compiler is used for the class in either a Linux or Windows environment with Eclipse as a visual IDE.
