Summary

The C programming language is one of the most, academically as well as industrially, important programming languages in the world. It was unveiled in 1972 and since then, with gradual enhancements and enrichments, it has successfully established itself as a powerful language for programming microcontrollers, operating systems and various commercially significant software packages. Having unique features like block structure, stand alone functions and a rich set of keywords with very few restrictions, it is aptly regarded as the ‘Mother Language’ among programming languages. Hence it is necessary for every programmer to learn and, often, use C.

About the Book

Today, in any corner of the world, there is a necessity to learn computer programming for people to survive in any industry. All students do not possess technical background and therefore find learning C programming difficult. Keeping a strong focus on industrial requirements and the limitations of students from non-technical backgrounds, we have written this new book on C programming to enable students of non-technical as well as technical backgrounds learn this marvelous programming language in a completely new way.

This book is completely different from other popular C programming books available in the market. It teaches programming to someone who wants to learn how to program in C for the first time in his/her life with no programming knowledge at all. In other words, this book on C programming is for absolute beginners of programming but at the same time it outclasses several other C programming books in the market with its coverage. Although targeted at complete beginners, this book covers many advanced concepts in C programming and enables a non-programmer to develop into a competitive C programmer ready to face job interviews on C.
