Why learn C ?

C is widely used and has become a de facto standard, with extensive libraries. C 11, released in 2011, was a new major version of the C standard and brought many new features to C to make the language safer and faster as well as easier and more fun to use. Every professional C developer will sooner or later come into contact with C 11/ C 14/C 17, or C 20, and introducing their advantages early can only be beneficial.

Because of all the numerous changes, the C creator Bjarne Stroustrup said that “C 11 feels like a new language”. Further incremental improvements, C 14, C 17, and C 20, have been released, with C 23 next in line.

This 4 - 5 day course is designed to take developers with prior working experience in C to the next level of skill. Through a combination of modern techniques and tools from the latest C standards including some features from C 23, participants will learn how to write better, more efficient and less error-prone code.

This course will teach the basics of creating and building projects with CMake. In recent years, CMake has introduced some cleaner and more precise constructs. The course will focus on the new constructs where possible.
