The C Programming on Linux course is designed to introduce learners to the fundamentals of the C programming language within a Linux operating system environment. This course provides a strong foundation in structured programming, system-level development, and command-line based coding, making it ideal for those aiming to understand how software interacts closely with operating systems.
Learners will explore core C programming concepts such as variables, data types, control structures, functions, pointers, arrays, and memory management. The course also covers compiling and executing C programs using Linux tools, understanding the GCC compiler, and working efficiently within the Linux terminal. Practical examples help learners understand how C is used in operating systems, embedded systems, and performance-critical applications.
Ideal for beginners, IT students, and aspiring software developers, C Programming on Linux builds essential programming and problem-solving skills. By completing this course, learners will gain confidence in writing efficient C programs, understanding Linux-based development workflows, and preparing for further study or careers in software development, systems programming, and engineering.
