Review: C Programming - Part 3 Training CD
Course Overview
This course is the third in a four-part series that will give students the fundamental skills and knowledge necessary to be able to write syntactically correct C code, using the facilities of a standard ANSI C library, to create basic applications. This series is not environment or vendor-specific. This course begins to introduce some more advanced topics. Students will learn about some of the more advanced uses for pointers, explore the collection of special bitwise operators, learn about Input/Output (I/O) with ANSI C, and learn how to properly debug their programs and perform error handling.

Learn To

Identify the advanced uses for pointers.
Explore the collection of special bitwise operators.
Identify the features of standard Input/Output (I/O) with ANSI C.
Debug programs.
Perform error handling.
Perform advanced but-level operations.
Perform I/O functions from within a C program.
Identify the features of file I/O.
Debug C programs.
Handle errors within code.

Audience
Application developers, software engineers, and programmer/analysts are some of the types of people who will benefit from taking this course. Personnel expecting to design and implement new or maintain existing systems and applications in a corporate environment. People who learned C in college, but have not used it in a couple of years and need to retrain. Individuals who are skilled in another structured programming language (Pascal, FORTRAN, COBOL, etc.) and now need to learn C, possibly as a prerequisite to C++, and those who are experienced in the general process of application development. In addition, students should have taken the first two parts of this series (courses 13201 and 13202) prior to taking this course.
