For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

C and C based languages module C101
Introduction to C
Exercises, examples and other material relating to training module C101. This topic is presented on public courses Learning to Program in C, Learning to program in C and C++, Programming in C, C and C++ Programming, Learning to program in C and C++, C and C++ Programming

Background
The C programming language is the bedrock on which most modern computing is built - it's used for much of the operating system and language programming, for example. C++ adds "Object Oreintation" onto C - if you don't know what "OO" is, that will be explained during your course. C++ is heavily used in large applications - for example, many large city institutions write their main systems in C++, and it's also the language in which many commercial applications are coded.

2842Staring a C course with Hello World - why?
Every programming course starts with a "Hello World" program - that's a program which does no more than print out the words "Hello World" when you run it - truely minimalist.

The C language is the bedrock of modern computing. So why is it that a company like Well House Consultants, who specialise in niche training, are running a C course?
