C Programming
COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is intended for programmers having experience of writing solid code. The course discusses coding techniques used by best “C” programmers. Main objective of the course is to discuss many aspects of C--from how memory is laid out to the details of pointers and arrays, how linkers work and how executable are structured. This course prepares strong foundation before one starts with cryptic kernel programming.
