Online Class: C Programming (Beginner to Advanced)
|  | | | Want to become a programmer? This is the perfect course to enroll. You don't need to have an advanced degree to become a programmer. Neither you need to go to a training institute and pay over 500 dollars to learn C programming. But you can learn C programming online. All you need to do is to work on real Programming projects to become an expert programmer. And you can work on programming projects from the comfort of your home or office. You just need a guidance and online mentoring in programming, which I am going to provide. This course will make you work on real programming projects in C Programming Language. So you will learn C programming by working on several C Programming projects. This course starts with the most basic concepts in computer programming and then takes you to advanced features of programming. Programming language used in this course is C, which is the best language to learn computer programming. C Programming is essential to learn C++ and Java. If you have any plan to learn C++ or Java, this course is a MUST for you. I will teach you C programming through C programming exercises, C programming quizzes, C programming exams, discussing your C programming problems with you on email, answering your questions on C programming and in zillion of other ways. It will prepare you with all the fundamentals of programming language, which you can use to learn any programming language. A similar course is offered in every university at undergraduate level with names: "Fundamentals of Programming", "Introduction to Programming", "C Programming" etc. Learn C programming, and you can easily move to learning C++ Programming or Java Programming. What makes this course different from other online courses in Programming is the level of interaction I provide at such a low price. Whenever you get stuck in compiling or running your programs, I will be there to help you compiling, debugging and running your programs. I am a motivated educator with a determination to make a difference in online teaching. I myself have taken online courses and I know what is important for online learners. This is one of the top reviewed courses on UniversalClass.com and I am among top 100 instructors at UniversalClass.com And I was able to achieve this high rank only in last 3 months with my dedication to online teaching. And my ranking is getting better with each passing day because enrolled students are enjoying my course so much. This course was launched in summer 2003 and I have revised this course many times. Learn C Programming online from anywhere in the world. Compare it with programming courses offered elsewhere, you won't find such a personalized C programming course at this price. You can learn C programming from your computer sitting in your home or office in any corner of the world. To learn programming you don't need to see your instructor, face to face but you need your instructor's help timely. And in this course you will get my help all the time. You can get my email response in as little as 1 hour but not exceeding 24 hours. Check "Instructor Status" to find my current availibility. You will be able to meet your online classmates on class forums. You will be given feedback on your progress. You will get an explanation of every solution to programming exercises. This is like unlimited Tutoring in C Programming for one time enrollment fee. Enroll in this course and become a programmer. Final question which you must be thinking "Why is the price of this course is so low?". Ok I have already made a lot of money on this course and I have recently decided (by the grace of God) to provide this course on such a low price just for the love of God. 40% of the course fee will go to Universalclass.com to meet the cost of providing this course online and remaining 60% will come to me to meet the internet connection cost which I am paying to provide this course.

Students also need to take online quiz after completing each lesson. Quiz will test you on programming concepts taught in the class lessons. I post several review questions for each Lesson on the course forum. This review questions will test you on the concepts taught in the Lessons and in the reference material provided in the form of web sites. All students need to answer these review questions associated with each lesson. There will be midterm exam in the middle of this course, which will test you on the programming concepts taught in first seven lessons. There will be a final exam at the end of this course, which will test you on the programming concepts taught in the whole course. Course Duration You can complete this course as early as in six weeks and start programming in C or complete at your own pace. Although completing this course in six weeks will require you to work full time on this course. Course Lessons |  | Lesson 1: IntroductionThis lesson is a true Introduction to computer programming explaining all the requirements,myths and skills required for programming. In this lesson we will also discuss the overall structure of the course. | Lesson 2: C Variables and ConstantsA Computer Programming language like any other language is also composed of words and sentences. This lesson will give you an introduction of basic data types, variables constants in C Programming language, which form words and sentences of C. | Lesson 3: C Input/Output InstructionsIn this lesson we will discuss how to do input/output in C. This includes discussion of printf,scanf, getche, getch, puts, putch,putchar etc. | Lesson 4: Statements, Expressions and OperatorsEvery computer programming language has a set of instructions and rules for writing them. This lesson will give you an introduction of types of Instructions in C Programming and discusses Data Manipulation and Input/Output Instructions in detail. | Lesson 5: Flow Control Instructions Part IFlow Control Instructions control the flow of any program written in a computer programming language. This lesson will give you an introduction of Flow Control Instructions in C Programming and discusses the Decision Control Instruction in detail. | Lesson 6: Flow Control Instructions Part IILoop Control Instructions(while,for,switch,continue) are core component of a program written in any computer programming language. This lesson will give you an introduction on how to use Loops in C Programming language. | Lesson 7: FunctionsFunctions are the core components of any computer programming language.
This lesson will give you an introduction to functions discussing advantages, components, arguments ( by values, by reference) and return values and rules for writing functions. | Lesson 8: ArraysArrays in C play a very important role in C programming. In this lesson we will discuss about single dimensional arrays as well as multidimensional arrays and their uses and their relationship with pointers. | Lesson 9: PointersPointers are the most intimidating but the most powerful feature of any programming language. This lesson will make you expert in using pointers in C Programming which is very useful in understanding Object Oriented Programming in C++. | Lesson 10: StringsC Programming language has a huge list of String maipulating functions. In this lessn we will discuss Strings in C, string I/O and string manipulation functions. | Lesson 11: More on User Defined Data TypesIn this lesson we will discuss structures and Unions in C. Structures and Unions in C Programming make your program more professional and efficient also they are very important to learn classes in Object Oriented Programming langauge. | Lesson 12: More on PointersIn this lesson we will discuss Dynamic Memory Allocation using Pointers. We will also learn how to build linked list. | Lesson 13: Working with FilesFile manipulation is one of the important features of any programming language.
