This is a hands-on short course, the first part of a study of the C/C++ family of languages used to build most of the world's computing systems.Starting with programming basics, then focusing on applying programming practice into the C/C++ programming language, it teaches key features of imperative programming using C and is an ideal preliminary to "Object-Oriented Programming Using C++".Students are exposed to programming problems and their solutions that highlight key features of imperative programming. You will be given numerous examples and gain transferable knowledge for any programming domain you may wish to progress on to.Some of the teaching covers the common integrated development environments (IDEs) popular on Windows operating systems; all the examples are compatible with compilers running on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X environments.
