Introductory C

Instructor: Björn Fahller

  The Introductory C programming course is based on the legendary book The C Programming Language, 2nd edition by the men behind the language, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. The course pace will average one chapter per week, requiring about 10 hours each for reading, discussion in the mailing list and solving exercises. On the mailing list you will find me, who, in addition to giving advice for reading and exercises, will point out aspects of programming not mentioned in the book, aid problem solving and participate in the discussions. Total time for the course is two months.

In order to cover the material, it will be necessary to keep a decent pace throughout the course. This means that it will be expected that you will have enough time to keep up with the material, and to practice the material you find challenging on your own. You should probably have at least some previous programming experience before going into this course, or be willing to work quite hard.
