In the course C Programming the basic principles of the C computer language are covered.
After an introduction about the background and characteristics of C and the function of the preprocessor, compiler and the linker, the program structure of C programs is discussed.
Through a series of coordinated exercises, participants learn to program with the variables, data types, storage classes, operators and control flow constructs of the C language.
Subsequently, the use of functions in C is addressed. It is explained how functions are declared and defined and how parameters are passed to functions. The difference between passing parameters by reference and by value is explained.
Ample attention is also paid to the pointer concept, arithmetic with pointers, the equivalence between pointers and arrays and the use of function pointers.
Next the focus is set on user defined composite data structures such as structures and unions.
Finally, the C standard library is discussed, which includes the treatment of various functions for dealing with file IO, date and time, the manipulation of strings and the dynamic allocation of memory.
Follow up courses for the course C Programming are Advanced C Programming and C++ Programming.
The course C Programming is designed for programmers who want to write programs in C or other people who want to understand C code.
No prior programming knowledge is required to join this course. Knowledge of programming in another language is however beneficial to a quick understanding of the subject matter.
The theory is treated on the basis of presentation slides and is interspersed with exercises. Illustrative demo programs are used to explain the concepts further. The course material is in English.
Participants receive an official certificate C Programming after successful completion of the course.

All our courses are classroom courses in which the students are guided through the material on the basis of an experienced trainer with in-depth material knowledge. Theory is always interspersed with exercises.
We also do custom classes and then adjust the course content to your wishes. On request we will also discuss your practical cases.
The course times are from 9.30 to 16.30. But we are flexible in this. Sometimes people have to bring children to the daycare and other times are more convenient for them. In good consultation we can then agree on different course times.
We take care of the computers on which the course can be held. The software required for the course has already been installed on these computers. You do not have to bring a laptop to participate in the course. If you prefer to work on your own laptop, you can take it with you if you wish. The required software is then installed at the start of the course.
Our courses are generally given with Open Source software such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, Tomcat, Pycharm, Anaconda and Netbeans. You will receive the digital course material to take home after the course.
The course includes lunch that we use in a restaurant within walking distance of the course room.
The courses are planned at various places in the country. A course takes place at a location if at least 3 people register for that location. If there are registrations for different locations, the course will take place at our main location, Houten which is just below Utrecht. A course at our main location also takes place with 2 registrations and regularly with 1 registration. And we also do courses at the customer’s location if they appreciate that.
At the end of each course, participants are requested to evaluate the course in terms of course content, course material, trainer and location. The evaluation form can be found at https://www.klantenvertellen.nl/reviews/1039545/spiraltrain?lang=en. The evaluations of previous participants and previous courses can also be found there.
The intellectual property rights of the published course content, also referred to as an information sheet, belong to SpiralTrain. It is not allowed to publish the course information, the information sheet, in written or digital form without the explicit permission of SpiralTrain. The course content is to be understood as the description of the course content in sentences as well as the division of the course into modules and topics in the modules.
