About the Course

Start learning one of the most powerful and widely used programming languages: C. Within moments you will be coding hands-on in a browser tool that will provide instant feedback on your code. The C programming language is one of the most stable and popular programming languages in the world. It helps to power your smartphone, your car's navigation system, robots, drones, trains, and almost all electronic devices. C is used in any circumstances where speed and flexibility are important, such as in embedded systems or high-performance computing. In this course, you will get started with C and learn how to write your first programs, how to make simple computations and print the results to the screen, how to store values in variables and how to repeat instructions using loops. Beginners, even those without any programming experience, will be able to immediately start coding in C with the help of powerful yet simple coding tools right within the web browser. No need to install anything! Why learn C and not another programming language? Did you know that smartphones, your car’s navigation system, robots, drones, trains, and almost all electronic devices have some C-code running under the hood? C is used in any circumstance where speed and flexibility are important, such as in embedded systems or high-performance computing. C is a foundational programming language taught at engineering schools around the world, and represents one of the building blocks of modern computer information technology. Invented in the 1970’s. It is still one of the most stable and popular programming languages in the world. We are excited to introduce you to the world of coding and launch you along your path to becoming a skilled C programmer! This is the first course in the C Programming with Linux Specialization. This series of seven courses will establish your programming skills and unlock doors to careers in computer engineering. This course has received financial support from the Patrick & Lina Drahi Foundation....

Great course but auditing seems impossible since all lessons are locked until one upgrades.

I was very impressed with the quality of C Programming: Getting Started. The teachers [ Petra Bonfert-Taylor and Rémi Sharrock ], are incredibly competent and the teaching material together with the learning environment are fantastic. I am very pleased to be able to complete the first course of the Specialization Program. Many thanks, Coursera, Dartmouth College, Institut Mines-Télécom and not least Patrick and Lina Drahi Foundation, for democratizing quality education.

I'm sure this course is good. Unfortunately, I could access nothing. There is absolutely nothing to audit in this course. Everything is for paid students only. I was excited about this. C and Linux are something I always wanted to get deeper into. Coursera began with a mission and I've been following it for a decade. But I think the free courses are getting subverted now with more and more courses offereing restrictive or payment only content. This is a huge disappointment for life-long learners like me.

Awesome course, I do not have words to express how much I appreciate the teacher's efforts, amazing dedication.

The course is brought to the student in the most accessible and easy way on the world with really step by step guidance.

Huge thank you, you made me realize how a great teacher looks like without even meeting, just via a MOOC.

Definitely worth's it, for me at least it was the most exciting programming course I have ever seen.

All the best for everyone!

Codecast is incredible. You would expect a lot of bugs or slow processing for a fully online compiler like this, but I never had any issues. The instructors were very clear and concise and the assignments were a good measure of how well the ideas of each objective were learned.

Great course and perfect for beginners. I also like the fact you actually write code and see someone write the code instead of just watching someone talk about coding without even showing you how to actually write the code.
